WW469: Aug 4- Contrast Training Agility Drills

We’ve all experienced our dog misreading our verbal and or physical cues and taking an off-course obstacle. In this workshop, we will look at variables to help our communication improve when running sequences.

This workshop will include one set up to work on contrast training, or "discrimination." We will also incorporate a little bit of layering which is great for building confidence while working on improving communication.

Every rep is going to be something different to avoid patterning and alleviate the stress that can come with drills. We will look at how to break down each rep for those needing to present smaller puzzle pieces.

You will need a small space to complete the exercises, 4 jumps, 1 tunnel which can be a shortie tunnel, 3 meters etc.
