Course Details
The #1 question I get asked at every seminar I teach is: "How do I teach my dog to keep bars up?". Well, you can't. A dog isn't in control over keeping a bar up or not. They are, however, in control over touching the bar or pieces of the jump, which may or may not cause bars to fall. Semantics— sure— but a mindset that is important for your training!
In this workshop, Megan will address the jumping skills she believes every agility dog needs to be a successful jumper and training plans for building these skills: Desire for jumping, dealing with distractions, training for reality, and responding to errors are all on the agenda.
Working spots will have the opportunity to submit video footage of their jump training and receive feedback from Megan on their progress and potential next steps.
This workshop does not cover the fitness and conditioning that a dog needs in order to be a successful jumper, but it will cover the habits and specific agility behaviors that I believe contribute to clean jumping on the agility course.
Note: This is a repeat workshop that has run previously under a different course number. Please review your workshop library to make sure this would not be a duplicate purchase.
