Sport Dog Foundation Skills
Building avid engagement, meaningful reward rituals, confidence in performance environments, and working endurance.
Building avid engagement, meaningful reward rituals, confidence in performance environments, and working endurance.
Sport and performance dogs must function as well adjusted members of society — with an added dash of jet fuel. Getting that mix right means teaching self control and reliability without sacrificing intensity and zest.
A performance dog must work in new environments — without equipment and with no primary rewards — for extended periods of time.
Skillful delivery of meaningful rewards during training, proper exposure to future working environments, deeply rooted foundation behaviors, building endurance and a committed focus to the handler, and more will be covered in this class.
The small class size allows for individual coaching and problem-solving time. Portions of this class may be held outside, weather and activity permitting.
