Course Details
Want to start fitness using targeting? Maybe fine tune your dog’s fitness skills to reduce your dogs luring during exercises. This class is for you!
This class will teach a variety of targeting skills including front foot targeting, rear foot targeting, all feet targeting, individual foot targeting, and face targeting as well as some key weight shift movement skills such as moving body weight forwards, backwards, and sideways. By combining these targeting and movement skills we can create a range of fitness exercises, and teach for understanding quickly. By using targeting we can reduce luring, which can create excessive movement and frustration. We will also look at duration and stillness as concepts for fitness.
This class will suit humans and canines new to fitness, through to more experienced teams. It is able to be adapted to be appropriate for young dogs through to geriatrics. Please note that your dog needs to be sound, and if they have had any lameness or significant orthopedic or health issue may need clearance for fitness training from their main veterinary care provider. Please contact Kelly if you are unsure if this class is appropriate for your dog.
