People attempting to cue their multi dog group with modifier cues, confusing their dogs, and then having to repeatedly correct them -- this is one of my pet peeves! LET'S TALK ABOUT IT 🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺

💃🏻🪩🐩 You and your dog know a handful of tricks (or maybe several buckets full), and you are ready for a challenge. Maybe your dog has been frustrated by longer routines, or maybe you can’t stop hunching over like Gollum when you try to dance. Or maybe you just want guidance and the push to express your creativity with your four-legged best friend and to be supported by others on the same journey.

Once you can dance your way through your skills, connecting with your dog for “normal” training feels different. You have an increased understanding of your body language cues. You know how to play together, and you know how to have a dialogue with your dog.

The goal of this program is that you and your dog have written and can perform a 2-6 minute routine by the end of 6 weeks. This routine can have heavy human choreography such as what you see in freestyle dance, or you can have a more “circus style” routine with less dancing for the human. We will explore different themes and mood, discuss song choices, and workshop tricks together. We will also workshop fading lures, isolating verbal cues, using props, using rewards in a routine smoothly, fading off of rewards, general concepts of chaining and duration, and general “good training” practices.
