4 Paw Drive: Body Awareness for Sports Foundations

Saturdays at 11:15 and 1:30

November 23 - 4 weeks
11:15 FULL

Good body awareness is essential for a long and successful dog sports career as well as a full and active life for our canine partners. We will spend time building your dog’s understanding of where all four of their feet are and how to use them efficiently and safely. This will give them excellent foundations for agility, rally obedience or any dog sport. We will also work on using these body awareness skills in sports specific exercises. Classes will be tailored to the experience level of the dogs participating.

Recommended prerequisites: Ability to work in a group class, basic proficiency with stationing/mat training and ability to follow food lure and/or hand target.

$160 per dog for 4 weeks (includes HST)

$45 per class drop in for current students (includes HST)

Fluff to Buff Canine Fitness Club

Wednesdays at 6:30 pm Will return in January.

Do you want to keep your dog’s fitness routine moving forward, but you are out of ideas or equipment? Each week we will setup several different exercise configurations for you to work on and to inspire your home workouts as well. We will review how to teach and progress exercises as well as provide equipment substitutions. After this familiarization, we will proceed through all stations as a workout. Canine Fitness Club expects that you and your dog have at least a basic understanding and proficiency in foundation fitness exercises.

Tricks Skill Building & Troubleshooting

TBD

Are you stuck trying to teach a trick to finish off a title? Are you unsure where to start building your dog's skills for tricks? Let me know what you are working on or would like to work on and we can get you and your dog moving forward with tricks! If requested, we will spend time specifically working through the requirements for the Trick Dog Champion title as well.

Rally Obedience & Heeling Foundations

TBD

This course will build heeling to become a strong and fluent behaviour that the dog truly understands. We will also look at the Novice signs with a focus on position changes in heel position. Spending the time on heeling and position changes in heel in the beginning will give you strong performances through your dog's Rally career.
