Foundation Skills for the Performance Dog Workshop
The Foundation Skills for the Performance Dog workshop is designed to help you and your canine partner build teamwork, focus, and the essential behaviors needed for any canine sport.
In this workshop, we will focus on core mechanics, impulse control, and enthusiastic engagement so your dog is ready to tackle any challenge.
What We Will Teach:
~Settling on a Mat or in a Crate: Waiting your turn can be difficult and requires plenty of practice. We will cover the foundational basics of calm settling and practice these skills throughout the entire workshop.
~Lining Up with You: We will teach your dog to sit attentively at your side on your left, right, and in the middle. This skill builds high value for staying in your space and keeping focused on the next task.
~Willing Collar & Harness Putting-On: Gear up with cooperation! We will teach your dogs how to willingly "dress themselves" and actively participate in putting on their equipment.
~Wait & Release Word Training: Holding still on cue and understanding exactly when it is time to go is critical for success in almost every dog sport.
~Targeting: We will train both object targets (such as a lid or plate) and various hand targets to improve precision, direction, and body awareness.
~Working Through Distractions: Staying focused when the environment gets busy is always a challenge. We will cover the basic skills, foundational concepts, and proofing techniques needed to keep your dog engaged anywhere.
