Just a reminder there are no Hoopers classes on tomorrow!๐
โHoopers is cancelled todayโ(emails went out yesterday). We have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast as we know how quickly it can change and it is still saying โfeels like 30 degreesโ- better to be safe than sorry๐ฅตtherefore both Week 3 classes will be rescheduled (potentially 8th October). When itโs cooler in the week, practice your directional cues!๐๐
Setting them up for success:๐ Light long line- attached to a harness not a collar๐ Plenty of throwable treats- light and easy to bite๐ Building value slowly- give your dog time๐ Y or H shape harness- dogs need to move freely ๐ Practising reward timing- donโt be afraid to use a clicker ๐
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ: We are at Crufts this weekend so there are no classes on tomorrow! Have a great week everyone๐พ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ: practice getting your direcional cues to vocal only cues๐ #crufts2023 #distancehandling
Does your dog struggle to focus when out of the training field? Try out the stuff they find easy first๐พ We always practice our flatwork in different environments and situations and we had a lot of wind and smells as a distraction this morning ๐
We had some fun today in the shade, applying our flatwork to a mini course โ๏ธ We are taking a short break next week and then week 1 begins 24th July ๐พ https://blunsdoncaninehoopers.co.uk
