TURN AND BURN: 360 DEGREES OF JUMPING SKILLS

 With World and National Champion 

Ashley Deacon

 This four hour workshop will cover a series of simple drills focused on improving your dog’s jumping skills; teaching them how to set themselves up properly for efficient turns and proofing that they consistently recognize the correct direction to turn. These drills will also improve your timing and give you confidence that your dog has committed to the turn, allowing you to get ahead on course. Attention will be given to teaching efficient wraps/post-turns and serpentines.

 Working spots are limited and expected to fill quickly. 

The drills covered are useful both as foundation exercises for a young dog and also to improve the jumping ability of a dog that is already competing. Only jumps and tunnels will be used. The specific drills and jump heights will be tailored to the age and ability of the dog.

All dogs must be familiar with jumps/tunnels (do not need to be jumping full height) and be able to work off leash around other dogs and retrieve a toy or tug-and-treat.

If you are not able to work a dog, AUDITING this workshop is highly recommended
