Welcome!
|
I am very excited to start this year's dog project. Since we cannot have face to face meetings this year, this is where I will post weekly lessons. I will post a description and a video for each new exercise in obedience. Once we have gotten further in obedience I will post information regarding showmanship. Unfortunately, because not everyone has agility equipment at home to use, we will be unable to learn it online.
For anyone who is new, Welcome!! First year trainers are in the pre-novice class. Returning trainers this year are in the novice class. Obedience lessons will be posted for each class (pre-novice and novice) each week. Once we get far enough along I will add Showmanship lessons. First year trainers are in Showmanship A and returning trainers are in Showmanship B. Please look on the documents page for additional information. |

Weekly lessons are not sufficent to train your dog. It is important to practice lessons daily. Daily practice does not have to be for long amounts of time, just enough to complete each excercise.
