Once we have foundation agility behaviors, how do we clarify our cues to support our dog during an agility run? What role do verbal cues vs. physical cues play? How do we know what our dog is responding to while we are in motion?
This webinar will look at the role our body position plays in cueing our dog including direction of feet, hips, hands, shoulder and head in directing our dogs. We will work on removing physical cues in training scenarios in order to separate out our verbal cues and build understanding of those verbal cues in spite of erratic body cues. We will also work on finessing our physical cues to try to avoid confusion in our dogs as well as build commitment to the obstacles once given a clear cue.
This webinar has been approved for 1.5 CPDT CEUs and 1.5 KPA CEUs.
