Learn The Key Elements For Dog Sports

All dog sport success is reliant on being able to teach a dog focus, commitment and the ‘can do’ attitude. However, not all dogs or breeds benefit from this behavior and it then becomes our responsibility and role to help develop it. In this two day workshop, you will learn you how to create these behaviors and attitudes in ANY dog. Get the skills and knowledge to reward your dog effectively so your training becomes more efficient and timely. In two days, you can learn the skills to create and reinforce the best and most appropriate behaviors to meet your dog sport goals.

This workshop will cover the important and necessary key skills to train a dog for any discipline whether you are training a set of weaves, or heel work, bite work or retrieving, having a dog that can learn each exercise in the shortest time is reliant on the key skills Kamal will cover during the workshop.
