Course Details
The people spoke! And FDSA Answered!
After popular demand, and listening to the response from many…. the resulting outcome…
Handlers Choice Class with Kamal Fernandez!
During this 6weeks course, the handler can decide on WHATEVER it is that they want to work on for the duration of the course…..
Yes, that's right! Absolutely anything related to your dog sports issues! At the commencement of the class, the Gold Participant may specify up to two distinct areas that they wish to focus on, which will then be the progressed throughout the 6 weeks.
This will be your chance to partake in a ‘tailored’ made class for YOU!
The course is aimed at developing and focusing on exercises/behaviors or problem-solving.
For example:
- drive issues
- ring preparation
- dealing with high drive dogs
- dealing with low drive dogs
- progressing heeling
- retrieve issues
- send away/go out
Whilst there will be overlap from previous FDSA courses, and videos access… this course will be most suitable for those who have completed the previous course but want specific help and support moving their training forward, or developing behaviors.
A set of "core" lectures is provided on some common sport training issues (heeling, tugging, play etc.) and the balance of lectures/videos will be provided based on the needs of the gold students.
Teaching Approach
Handler's choice is tailored to the Gold Student's needs. You are able to select two core behaviours/skills/exercises to work on within the course, and receive feedback or content relating directly to your training. There are lectures included from previous HC classes, which may or may not relate to your own training. The majority of lectures are video format usually with voice-over describing how to handle the video content. Additional lectures/videos are provided/catered as needed specifically based on the Golds skill requirements. Feedback is giving on two areas identified at the start of the course.
