One-on-One Competitive Obedience Coaching
A place where good teams become great teams.
When I got the paddock, it was simply a secure place, to train puppy Berty ready to compete. A place where we could train properly, away from distractions, other than a horse in the field nearby. Where we could focus, learn and play, as much or as little as we wanted. without interruptions. It wasn’t grand. It was a commitment. Muddy boots or sunshine, whatever the weather.
Now, a few years later, and here we are. Young Berty has qualified to compete in the Obedience Championships, and I’m coaching other handlers, who share the same passion for positive reward based training as I do, to train their dogs in a private, secure, outdoor environment, free from unwanted interruptions.
We look at everything you need to be able to train your dog to compete at RKC Obedience shows and BCOS including:
- The Fundamentals
- Switch on/ switch off
- How and when to use food and toy rewards
- Precision heelwork up to Test C.
- Set exercises up to Test C.
- Sustained engagement
- Clear reward markers
- Motivational play
- Ring preparation -from Introductory onwards.
- Raising your own body and mind awareness.
- And more…
Expect to move. Use play and energy deliberately. I want dogs bright, engaged, focused, and expressive. I don’t train my dogs to shut down and I won’t train yours that way. Lessons are positively reinforcing for everyone involved.
Who This Is For
- Handlers at any level who are committed to training their dogs to compete.
- Handlers ready for honest guidance.
- Handlers who want to unlock their own and their dog’s potential.
Fee: £45 per 60 minute lesson.
Some partnerships just need the right conditions to unleash their potential.
