Course Details
Command Discrimination is the exercise with the highest failure rate in Open. Why do so many dogs struggle??? In this workshop we will explore all aspects of the exercise. We will look at the variety of reasons dogs fail the exercise and how to remedy them. We will break the exercise down so we can identify the root cause of errors. All mistakes are not handled the same. Once we identify the problem, we can choose the appropriate training strategy to build the dog’s confidence. Whether your dog is learning CD, or your dog is already competing, this workshop will help your dog confidently handle this challenging exercise.

I have been training and competing for several decades in a variety of sports including Hunt Tests, Field Trials, Nosework, Agility and Rally. My first love has always been competition obedience. I have been fortunate to win the AKC National Obedience Championship four times with three different dogs. (Click here for full bio and to view Petra's upcoming courses)
