$225 Working / $85 audit
Limit 8 participants
MEB’s newest workshop topic! This workshop will
focus on “putting it all together” the concepts I have been working on in
recent years. Using a course from Agility Hub, you will learn how to do
the following:
· Connection/Got It and developing a
better understanding of how to use your eyes on course
· Understanding what the dog sees on
course and how to help him see the correct obstacles
· Setting up “Got It” moments for your
dog using running points, deceleration and being “more far away”
· How to not overdrive your running
points
· Running lines using footwork and
straight lines for the handler for maximum efficiency
· Trusting your dog’s skills and
leaving with homework if s/he does not have the skills for the above points to
be successful!
· Learn how to read your dog’s eyes in order to react
to what he is looking at.
It is highly
recommended, but not required that participants have attended Got It and
Deceleration with MEB
