*Note: This is a repeat of the previous Line Dancing class
What level are the sequences?
This course is open to all dogs over 10 months old that can perform hoops or jumps and tunnels. This is a good place for young dogs just learning these skills as well as more advanced dogs.
Training Methods
A variety of training methods can be used to obtain the proper movement or position - shaping, luring, capturing, targeting, and molding. These will be discussed and demonstrated in the video tutorials and through video review but every tiny step will not be demonstrated.
Disclaimer: Some information in this class may overlap or appear in other classes/workshops due to the foundation needed for many behaviors, tricks, and fitness exercises. In addition, there are overlapping skills needed for many different performance activities so you may see exercises that are the same but packaged up differently toward a slightly different goal.
