Running A-Frame (just starting or wanting to improve)

Trainer: Toni Dawkins
Duration: 8 weeks between 04-11-2024 and 30-12-2024
Launch: Currently Running

Course Details

I have been teaching running a-frames for the last eleven years, both to my own dogs and others. Its really very easy and much simpler to handle than a stop contact method.

In this course we will start from the very beginning, looking at how to reward the correct behaviour so that your dog easily understands.

From lowered a-frame to full height

Verbal cues

Turns

How to handle in sequences

Winter is the perfect time to re-, train and start next season with a new, faster behaviour

If you are starting a young dog they must be over 12 months

You are welcome to join if you already have a running and wish to improve or, have encountered problems
