Course Details
Precision heeling and accurate obedience skills are simply poetry in motion. It’s so rewarding to have our dogs choose to engage with us without a cookie lure in our hands. We can teach simple, fun behaviors to enable our dogs to move with us and heel happily and precisely! We can teach fun, easy behaviors to enable our dogs to practice in new locations and remain engaged and ready to train. We can teach foundation behaviors that enable us to build engagement, focus, and reliability with our cues even at a distance.
Let’s teach our dogs how much fun precision obedience really is! Check out the syllabus and equipment to learn more about what skills we will be covering.
