Course Details
Change your dog's relationship to pressure! In performance sports dogs are constantly confronted with pressure from the environment, judge and barriers. This is challenging for all dogs. Dogs are very sensitive to pressure. The good news is we CAN make them more confident and resilient. We can teach them to handle pressure in a way that is fun and gives the dog control. Control is empowering! Our goal is to change our dog’s relationship with pressure from negative to positive. Regardless of whether your dog is innately confident, insecure or in-between, the concepts in this workshop will improve their confidence and their relationship with pressure. We will explore moving towards pressure and maintaining position when pressure is applied by the environment. This is the second of a three part series. They can be taken individually.
