DRILLS IGNITED - Audit only
Dates: Videos will be released on the following dates.
3 Lessons with 3 sequences per lesson
Access for 3mths
Min Age approx. 15mths
This is our 7th Drills Ignited with all new Drills and Skills to help motivate you to get out there to train. Its about learning skills, improving what you have, working on timing of your handling and cues while at times testing various combinations. Expect to fail and learn from it, expect to surprise yourself with brilliance. Learning is about trying things out, learning from them and moving forward. The course has 3 lessons with 3 drills in each = 9 sequences all up. Other videos may be added if the group needs clarity.
Level: We use all skills from back of jump, tight wraps, tunnel & jump threadles, YES these can be broken down to reward however it's only fair if they have an understanding of the skill we are testing.
What you get:
-
Lesson Videos every 2 weeks (this allows you time to get your video in)
within the video you get the sequence demonstrated by either Quest, Vybe or more basic stuff with Billie Jean each full sequence is also shown in slow motion.
Sometimes some explanation on certain ways of handling and different options to handle.
-
Course maps with written explanation on how to handle so you can print out and take outside with you.
What you need:
4 x Jumps
1 x Tunnel
Access to Facebook group only once full payment is made.
Working:$200.00 per dog- (working spots are limited to be able to allow me to give in-depth personal feedback.), you have access to the videos, ask questions, & can upload videos for feedback. Max of around 5mins of training video per week, if you are not good at editing it can be more that's why I say "training part of the video". If you have multiple dogs I don't mind you swapping dogs but you will only receive feedback for one dog per drill so pick what dog does what drill.
Audit: $100.00 per person you will have access to all videos & can ask questions but will not be able to post videos for personalised feedback.
