Introduction to the Seesaw

Agility Workshop with Kristie

For many dogs, the seesaw can be the most difficult obstacle to learn.

When using a seesaw, the dog has to manage motion, tipping, height and noise.

This workshop will focus on beginning skills with a seesaw at a low height.  We will adjust motion, noise level and height, as appropriate for each dog.  There will be pre-workshop home activity emailed to participants to help your dog gain some familiarity with motion under their feet.

Prior agility experience is required

Impulse Control

for the Holidays

with Jen

What is impulse control? What does it have to do with my dog? When our dogs act impulsively they aren't able to use any of the skills we have taught them. In this special 1 hour tutorial. We define impulse control and how we want the dogs to apply it. We will work on building our dog's impulse control around all things Holiday!

Open to all My Dog's Place clients.

Impulse Control

for Sporting Dogs

with Jen

In this one time, one hour event we will explore the ins and outs of impulse control, identify each dog's threshold and the steps to get them working close to the equipment. We will work toward counter conditioning the strong impulsiveness they have during the arousal of sporting activities.

Open to all My Dog's Place clients.

Tricks Workshop

with Julianne

Want to have fun with your dog while challenging them physically and mentally?

In this workshop we will build your dog's trick skills. We can use tricks in everyday situations, like "waiting" in the vets office, while you wait your turn in other canine sport classes, or just as a way to challenge your dog in everyday situations.

Along with positive reinforcement we will use shaping and luring techniques.

 Tricks may include, crawl, shake, high five, roll over, spin, sit pretty, wave, back up, hoop, paws up, push up.
