CU on Course, of Course

Tuesdays at Close Enough Farm

1-2 and 2:15-3:15, 6 weeks

March 8th-April 12th, $180

Control Unleashed was originally created for agility, so let’s use it on the course! Whether your dog is over aroused on the course or when another dog is running, or your dog checks out from you and checks in with all the other people on the course, this class is for you. We’ll be using CU skills to create a calmer, more focused dog on and off the course. Please let me know your team’s experience with CU skills. Whether you have no experience, you’ve learned them on your own, or you have taken my Team Together class or my Control Unleashed Agility seminar, please specify. Let me know if you'd prefer to be in the class at 1 or 2:15. Maximum of 6 teams in each class.

Clicker Basics for Kids!

Here’s Lilly waving and telling me a secret.

Here’s Lilly waving and telling me a secret.

When: Tuesdays 4-5pm

August 18th-September 8th

Who: Child and Parent with a dog/cat to complete the team

How much: $100

Where: Online

If you’ve got a kid who loves her or his dog or cat and wants to learn a fun, fast, and cool way to connect with said dog or cat, sign them up! This class is for kids age 10 and up (if you’ve got a mature little person, we can chat to see if this is a good fit). There will be some homework between meetings, but my main goal is for kid and critter to have fun learning together in this class so that the clicker skills they learn will allow them many more hours, days, weeks, and years of fun learning together.

We will meet online and I am limiting the class to just 4 teams, so everyone gets plenty of feedback and assistance. We’ll learn the basics of clicker training. You’ll train your critter in some foundation behaviors and fun tricks. All training is tricks training! Whether you, the adult, have already done clicker training or not, you and your child will be working together as a team with your critter.

Supplies: clicker, tasty treats, and a treat bag. Once you’ve registered, I’ll send an email with recommendations on these supplies. If you’ve already got them, you’re set.
