Working on training those weave poles, but feel you may need a bit of extra guidance and practice? Then join us April 20th from 10:00am-11:30am to work on your weave skills!

We can work with any training method or kind of training poles that you may have started (2x2's, channels, guide wires, etc); we can progress your weaves! Open to any level of weave skills!

Here are Wendy and Dove’s Biathlon Standard courses and the course map. Wendy and Crush ran it perfectly! What a beautiful run!
Dove and Jedi had one bar down and one refusal for 10 faults total, but it was still a great debut run for them at the World Championship level!

This week we thought we’d share one of our Rally Obedience students doing a section of a course!!
This is peekaboo or @pbthebp who as you can see is a very attentive and skilled little dog who just happens to have no eyes!! That’s right!! PB is working solely off of verbals and the hard work her owner has put in!!
Check out a beautiful piece of a Working Class Rally Obedience run with DogWork’s private trainer “Maria” and her Duck Tolling Retriever “Penny”!!
You can see in this short clip that there are many parts of Rally Obedience from Novice Course Work to Working class involving distance work, handler focus and body awareness!!
Dove and Jedi have been enjoying the extra training courses for the World Agility Organization (WAO) Team Canada training! These courses were super fun to run! Check out how early Dove has to cue Jedi for the next obstacles 😲
Happy Holidays from the Dogworks Staff and their pups!!
It’s Tricks for Treats time!!
Torque and Jedi love this “orbit” trick! (and of course, the treats they get afterwards too 😉)
Dove teaches dogs the “orbit” trick in her Advanced Tricks workshop. Teaching a solid “backup” on cue is a good first step to this trick!
