Course Details
3 WEEK CLASS - This class will ensure that your dog is physically up to the challenges of the obedience ring! Join Kelly as she explores the roles of strength, movement and balance in targeting exercises specific to obedience skills and exercises.
Teaching Approach:
Lectures will be composed of extensive written detail, and accompanied by photographs and videos that both verbally explain concepts, and demonstrate exercises. The majority of details and concepts will be covered in both written, and video form. There are often multiple videos showing different stages, or dogs, performing exercises. This means that the concepts are accessible to those who like to learn through text, or verbal explanation, or visual explanation.
This class is relatively intensive, giving you not just the ‘how too’, but also the ‘why’. There is LOTS of information, so it is important to work at your own pace and focus on the needs for you and your dog. If this is difficult for you I suggest working at Silver or Gold so you can ask questions.
Lectures will be released weekly, and are grouped under similar concepts. They will be released sequentially from theory and foundation fitness concepts, through teaching individual exercises, to putting these into workouts.
Feedback is given in detail in relation to the goal of a particular task or exercise. In particular the focus of feedback will be improving a dog's form, understanding of exercises, and meeting your specific goals.
Feedback can be given in written, OR video voice over form (Loom). Generally the form of feedback will be selected to best meet your specific post, but there are times where voice recording may be difficult so I may have to write feedback. Please be sure to discuss with Kelly if there’s a specific form of feedback that is most useful to you.
