Heeling Games

This course will help participants learn to create excitement and interest in heel work with their dogs. By increasing their attractiveness as a ‘heeling partner’, external reward schedules can be decreased at the same time that natural attention will be developed.
Ob-ility
$50Obility 1 is your introduction to Obility, a fast paced and exciting way to teach obedience! In this class, we will introduce the basic obility commands (fly and thru) and demonstrate how to use them to teach any dog several fundamental obedience exercises. All dogs will be introduced to the obility method of teaching the broad jump, high jump, recall, directed jumping, and gloves ( no retrieves required!). Dogs who enter the class with more obedience skills may also be introduced to the obility method of drop on recall, retrieve on flat, and the signal exercise. We'll work with the skills that you and your dog possess, and add a few new ones to keep you busy! This class is appropriate for any dog or puppy with or without fundamental obedience skills. Only requirements are a a basic off-leash recall and a safe environment for your off leash dog to practice!
This is an excellent choice for obedience dogs that aren't having much fun with their training, and provides a nice introduction to the concept of obility.
This class may be repeated as often as desired until the student feels ready to progress.
