Point & Shoot: Building a Better Launch Sequence
Thoughtfully built and well-maintained reward-based exercises offer the best of both worlds, enhancing clarity and control while actually increasing your dog's intensity.
November 14th & 15th
Teamwork before the line
Move happily and attentively together around the decoy/helper/rewards.
Stillness on the start line
Create waiting that builds intensity and clarity without building frustration.
A fast, committed launch
Build speed and power in the entry with appropriate handler support and the right level of challenge.
Confident gripping
Refine targeting, grip quality, commitment, and confidence on the bite.
A quick, clean release
Build a happy, reliable out while strengthening the recall or guard behavior that follows.
Also covered: sequencing while maintaining quality across multiple attacks; reward selection and reward enjoyment around the decoy; managing over-arousal and under-arousal; and handling errors without making the dog cautious.
This seminar will be especially valuable for those interested in or actively training in bitesport with exclusively reward-based methods.
