Course Details
Too often I see dogs being exposed to the trial environment before they have clarity of what to do or what cues mean, even at home. The result is more often than not a confusing and frustrating experience that puts the team even further away from their desired outcome of a good performance. It doesn’t have to be like that.
The distance from your yard to the competition ring can be shorter than you think. By training solid behaviors and cues in a structured manner, it’s possible to prepare your dog and yourself for the challenges of the competition environment.
Follow me as I present the steps that will help you be successful from the moment you first step in the ring with your dog.
