Course Details
Are you looking for a new way to approach agility training both inside and outside the ring? Or a new solution to your agility training projects or problems? Let me introduce you to a dot!
Dots are currently my absolute favorite thing to use in agility. I have found them to be such a flexible training tool that you can apply them to almost anything you want to tackle or learn within the agility space.
In this class, we will be doing just that! We will start by teaching your dog the basic foundation of what to do with a dot and then proof that basic understanding in different situations and environments. Then from there, the applications will be extremely flexible and endless! Due to the value that we will very quickly and easily build up for these dots, you and your dog will learn how you can apply your dots to your general agility training and agility–related behavior training goals.
Because there probably are quite literally 101 ways that you can apply dots to agility, for the sake of this class, we are going to be applying the dots in a few specific overarching ways:
- Single jump skills including independent backsides (wrap/slice), threadles (wrap/slice), and tight turns.
- Arousal layering and big feelings around agility
- Anti-rushing and commitment work for jumps
- Environmental acclimation
- Forward focus and distance work
- Stopped contact independence
- Independence for weaving (for dogs already weaving!)
- Start lines
- Structure for when something goes wrong in training
This class will act as a “choose your own dot adventure” of sorts where you can make the scope of your dot-related focus as narrow or as broad as you’d like by choosing how many topics you want to focus on throughout class. (And that can obviously change as class goes on!)
Regardless, you will walk away with a powerful new training tool and new way to approach your agility training!
