This bundle includes three webinar presentations and downloadable training templates to help you get started applying these skills.
Beginning of Run Routines
Does your dog struggle getting started with their agility run? Are they a little sluggish or distracted? Are they over the top unable to contain their excitement for the agility course?
What you do during the time before you take your place at the startline does impact your performance. Knowing what type of routine works best to get you and your dog ‘in the zone’ is an important piece to the puzzle. In this webinar, Megan breaks down the components to beginning-of-run routines and how to choose what works best for each team. Warm-up, get ready to work, wait your turn, and enter the ring in the optimal state of arousal – build the routine that works for your team!
End of Run Routines
Your agility run isn’t over after the last obstacle. Getting to your leash and exiting the ring is the real last obstacle: one requiring thought, planning, and training just like all the other obstacles!
If your dog…
- Avoids the leash at the end of the course
- Leaves the ring without you at the end
- Body slams or bites you at the end of the run
- Thinks of chasing the next dog starting their run
Then this webinar is for you!
Ring Prep without the Ring
“He does it perfectly at home, but I can’t replicate the trial environment!” If you’ve ever said that about your dog’s performance, this webinar is for you. Megan will outline her process of preparing dogs for the competition ring without needing the actual ring, all of the equipment, people, or the busy environment, at least all at one time. Preparation for competition does require thoughtfulness, a lot of planning, and some creativity. We owe it to our dogs and to ourselves to step into the ring feeling confident in our ability to perform as we have trained.
It’s no secret that there is a big gap between training and trialing, which needs a bridge built between it. Bridging that gap is all about fine-tuning your routines, reducing reinforcement, and layering in distractions with different levels of arousal.
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a beginner to dog sports, this presentation will help you see training from a new perspective and take your training to the next level. You have the power to prepare your team for competition even with limited resources.
