Course Details
3 WEEK CLASS - Marking is the skill that teaches your dog to lock in, commit, and know exactly what’s coming next. All before you give the send cue. Instead of guessing, hesitating, or checking back in with you, your dog understands exactly where they’re about to go and confidently commits to that path.
This foundation skill can be used on any dog sport that uses a send forward from heel position, or any position where the dog starts in a stay. Agility handlers, that includes the “fancy” start line skills of lateral leadouts and even starting behind them! Get obstacle commitment to the line you set without the guessing!
No more problems of dogs who start to send and then turn to bark at the handler!
Create clarity before the release and have confident, straight sends.
This class is appropriate for handlers who want to compete in any sport involving a send, but the lecture examples will be focused on the obedience go out and directed retrieves, and on agility startlines. We will look at the beginning steps of teaching these mark skills and start to generalize to the send in your chosen sport(s)!
