About the event
I can’t even begin to guess how many times I’ve been told, or more often it’s that I’ve overheard, that obedience is boring.
It’s not motivating. It's predictable. It’s too uptight.
And its true. Obedience CAN be all those things. But it doesn’t have to be.
Obedience can be intense, it can be fast, it can be creative, and most importantly it can be joyful for both you and the dog!
In this class we will look at using a few simple games that you can build into a variety of training exercises to bring more engagement, creativity, and joy into your training.
We will work with cones, spins, hand touches, backing up, and even play with suspenseful pauses. Each week I will present some games, and then help you brainstorm ways you can insert those games into the obedience exercises you’re working on.
Working on your dog being able to heel with less rewards? Stuck on drilling fronts and finishes? Combatting travel on your dogs drop on recall?
The games will give your dog another way to understand each exercise. And just as importantly, we will give you tools to unstick your training and get out of the rut of drilling!
Learn to bring more flow and creativity in your training and up your obedience game!
We’re not just bringing games into your obedience training, we’re using games to train obedience differently. Obedience can be joyful!
