Course Details
Do you have a dog who can become very sensitive during your agility training? Do they struggle with perceived failures or being “wrong” even when they aren’t? Do they struggle with certain environments or agility related sounds/sights? Or do they struggle to repeat sequences or learning new skills that involve repetition or trying something new?
This course is tailored specifically to you! This includes sensitive dogs that stress down as well as those who stress up or stress into specific traits such as sniffing, stalking, barking, etc.
Throughout this course, we will go over strategies to help your sensitive dog walk away from training sessions feeling GREAT! Along with these specific strategies and exercises, we will also go through reasons why our dogs may become sensitive during training and ways to mitigate that. We will also go through what that sensitivity itself may look like so that you can be proactive in the future.
We will go through strategies both for at home training as well as seminars, classes, and trials.
You will walk away from this course armed with new tools to help balance out your training and leave everyone feeling more cool, collected, and confident!
Teaching Approach:
Lectures will be a combination of written description and demonstration video. We will be going over general confidence building exercises and ways to structure training to help our sensitive dogs as well as lectures discussing what those sensitivities might look like in their subtle form and strategies to help attending agility events more successfully.
Feedback will be a combination of written feedback and videoed voiceover feedback.
