April 26 - Shawn Crossart:
Intelligent Rewarding
When we think of dog agility we often think of the end product as we watch teams run through courses like a beautiful piece of choreography. What we don’t see is that type of choreography takes incredible teamwork and training and not all teams, and not all dogs, are the same. However, whether you just want to run for fun or you have aspirations of winning competitions, using a reward-based method of training can streamline your training and get you to your end goal all while having fun with your dog and even faster than you ever imagined!
Shawn will explain the How, When, and Why of rewarding your dog’s performance. She will show us how to optimize our teamwork by perfecting the way we reward our dog and by perfecting our reward system. Our dogs will learn more quickly and the overall performance will be stronger. The end result: your training will not only be more efficient and fun, but you will achieve your desired results even faster.
Prerequisites
