Introduction to Dog Sports
Class Details: Introduction to Dog Sports
5-Weeks of FUN !!
This class offers many benefits. We play thinking games, so the conversation between you and your dog is a bit different than teaching k9 manners. Sport training creates a relationship that grows deeper and the bond is one that cannot be described at times. Classes serve several purposes. They all provide dog owners with an opportunity to engage with the dog in a thoughtful engaging way. It is an extension to your k9 manners training approach.
It is critical that your dog has been in a structured class BEFORE coming into Intro to Dog Sports. If you have any questions, please call me. 828-712-4245
This 5-week class is highly recommended for folks new to any dog sport scene. We want all students to get all they can out of their interactions with their dog. Dog sports are FUN and this class is designed to prepare owners for navigating and controlling their dog in any sport class. It also teaches you more fun things to do with your dog at home, both mentally and physially. The fun games will keep the dog fit and thoughtful as we show them how to use their bodies in the space - proprioception. This class offers a little bit of physical challenges, so your dog should go home tired. Sport classes are generally more stimulating then average dog training classes and so the types of things you will learn over and above learning new sporty activities are:
- Learn the art of shaping where the dog thinks and is more involved in the games we play
- Learn tricks for foundation skills in treibball, agility, and scent games
- Work on happy crate training techniques so that your dog loves any crate - especially at the vet office
- Learn how being a team player in the class can enhance your experience and learning
- Wellness, fitness and conditioning games will show the dog proprioception and body awareness
The sports that we review are: Agility - Treibball (Urban Herding) - Scent Nose Work (The Nose Knows) - K9 Fitness and Conditioning
If you have already taken this class, I can give you additional homework that will take you into the next levels of the sport you are most interested in. Call me to discuss the possibilities.
