Course Details
Join me for a fun workshop focused on teaching and refining Rally and Obedience finishes. We’ll break down Swing (low left), Flip (high left), and Around (right) finishes, emphasizing speed, motivation and precision. In this workshop we will break each finish into small pieces that are highly reinforced. When put together, the dog is super confident and loves finishing. Eventually finishes become a well-rehearsed motor pattern. When your dog is highly motivated, distractions disappear and your dog maintains engagement around distractions. Whether you're introducing finishes or fine-tuning for the ring, you'll learn how to create energetic, engaged and accurate finishes.

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)
