My Super Puppy class is designed with future agility stars in mind, but is a valuable addition to any training regime for any dog, young or old.
This class will focus on strengthening the relationship between you and your dog through clicker tricks and foundation skills. A desire to train your dog using positive reinforcement is a must, and the ability to think outside the box is a step in the right direction. Join us as we shape the young minds of tomorrow’s agility rockstars, one bit of body awareness at a time.
The tricks we will introduce will get the dog thinking, increasing proprioception, and strengthen their desire to work for you. The way the class will work, you will get an outline of what to work on and why we are focusing on that skill every week for two months. You can ask questions when you are stumped, and most helpful you will send in videos of your training so I can give you ideas on how to improve or progress past a point where you might get stuck. You will get 8 lists in total. Your videos don’t have to be fancy or even edited. I prefer of course to be able to hear when the clicks are happening, and anything you are saying to the dog (which in shaping should of course be minimal at first, besides giving praise) so videos without music overlay are preferred. If you have a youtube account you can post these videos as unlisted so that only your fellow students and I can see your work, and then dazzle your subscribers with your finished product!
This class has a limited number of openings and is being offered at the very low price of $100 this first time, as I will be learning the process of online teaching while you are learning the process of puppy training!
This class will begin September 1st, so charge your clicker and get ready to join in the fun.
Testimonials:
My Cardigan Welsh corgi, Franny, is the first puppy I’ve trained for agility, and I could not have done it without Emily’s Super Puppy class. The emphasis on impulse control and clicker training/shaping gave Franny the very best foundation and I am truly grateful to Emily for all her help! Emily also gave us many helpful suggestions for specific focus issues we were having. Franny had earned rally and obedience Qs by age 1, and at 13 months got her first TDAA agility Qs. Franny has been amazingly successful at everything she tries, and I have no doubt everything we worked on in Super Puppy class contributed to that. Even better, Franny’s solid foundation work has given ME the confidence and joy I need to truly enjoy stepping up to the line with her for every run, and I can’t thank Emily enough for that!
2011 4″/8″ Deputy Division CHAMPION!!! Not bad for 20 months old! Just need to fix those pesky weaves! Love you Fran!
