Jump into this on-demand workshop to learn a series of motivational small-space training games to teach your dog big-time commitment skills. The focus is on building your dog's countermotion skill so that your dog will commit to an obstacle while you run the other way. Not only is this skill useful for improving obstacle commitment, it will also help with obstacle independence, speed, and tight turns.

You can do all of these games in a small space like your living room or a hallway.

This on-demand workshop includes a recording of a 5-hour live workshop during which working dogs tried the games demonstrated by Tracy Sklenar and then received feedback. There are also training notes and written descriptions of the games.
