This seminar is about agility right from the start! Foundation skills form the core of agility and are valuable not only in the beginning but throughout your career.
In this seminar, you’ll learn both what to train and how to train it!
Attendees will learn the basics of clever clicker training for agility. You will be taught their two favorite strategies to get behavior: “aim for it” and “race to reward.” Trainer and handler skills, reward requirements, transports, and useful foundation skills, will be taught. These skills are important for both you and your dog to have more fun. By teaching yourself and your dog all the foundation skills, you set the stage for success. From the beginning you will be laying the base for fast, independent, and reliable obstacle performance, while incorporating proper handling. The seminar will teach you how to establish good habits for both you and your dog.
