The Beast is, of course, when your perfectly well trained
dog turns into a version of the exorcist outside the ring...or in the crate...
or while on (or off!) course.
This workshop is designed to work with highly
motivated agility students to ensure that A) their dogs are not being naughty
and creating problems before running and B) your dog knows how to deal with
uncontrollable behaviors from other dogs in competition venues. A MUST TAKE
course as we address every element that may contribute stress to your dog,
stress which could easily fragment his ability to achieve his full potential for
success.
Here is a sampling of what we'll do in the seminar: -
- practice
being quiet in crate/on sidelines when other dogs are running a course
- practice being on deck in a calm (enough) manner
- handle other dogs who run
off course and get in your dog's face
- habituate to sounds and sights of the
agility ring (judge, seesaw slamming down, stewards in ring, etc.)
- ...and
much more!
