Sessions for Performance Dogs

Does your dog take off when you remove their leash in the ring? Are they sniffing and acting disinterested or disconnected? Are you frustrated about their performance? Are they higher than a kite and can't concentrate?

Success in the ring is built on small skills and behaviors outside of the ring — I call them the inbetweens and befores. We can build these skills through a series of games and expectations for behaviors. I like to train these skills out of context before adding them to a practice or trial environment.

We will also look at and address a dog’s comfort level and emotional state at practice/class and/or at a trial through intentional exercises and set ups.

Please contact me for more information and scheduling.
