Instructors: Kate Harding & Sue Sample Brown
Thursdays 4:15 pm - 5:45 pm
Criteria: This class is open to dog/handler teams that plan to continue past the Novice level in competitive obedience. Dogs must be at least a year old, and teams can be at any level from almost-ready-to-trial in Novice through trialling in Open. The class is not suited for teams already trialling in Utility.
Content: The goal of the class is to give you some of the tools you’ll need to work with your dog at home. We will work on developing animated, engaged routines through games and well-timed rewards. Our focus will be on engaged heeling, as well as exercises from Novice and Open. We will start to lay a foundation for the Utility exercises. Dogs will be out on the floor one or two at a time.
Equipment: Dogs must wear a properly fitted flat collar, prong collar or fur saver. Handlers should have a 3-4 foot leash, water, delicious treats, a favorite toy and a hungry dog. All handlers should have a dumbbell. Teams who already have a solid retrieve will need utility articles and/or a set of gloves.
When not working, dogs must be able to rest quietly in a crate, or hang out in the car.
Limit: 8, one dog per handler.
