Course Details
Can we teach fronts without props and aides? Without nitpicking and nagging? Can we teach our dogs to not only love fronts but to offer them? Yes, you can! Imagine your dog consistently performing fronts with animation and accuracy. All we need to do is get out of the dog’s way. We need to free them up to process and problem solve. In this workshop you will learn how to shape fronts. Once your dog understands front, you can teach your dog to offer them. Because it’s the dog’s idea, offering is empowering and builds enthusiasm. Trainers inadvertently tend to flood the dog with information. This adds pressure and interferes with the dog’s ability to process. You will learn to help your dog by communicating with motion. This workshop is applicable to dogs just learning fronts as well as improving and problem-solving front issues.
