For our dogs to do a course as fast as possible, it's our job as handlers to be the best navigators we can be. This means having a system of communication (verbal and physical cues) that is as clear, efficient, and timely as possible. In this class, you will use fun exercises to teach your dog the three critical modes of focus that she must be able to transition between on an agility course, and that you must be able to communicate clearly:

• Go! = Extension. The dog runs as fast as she can, taking all obstacles on a path/line that does not require a turn until she runs out of obstacles OR you signal a turn.

• Whoa! = Collection. The dog shortens the length of her stride in preparation for a change of direction and shifts to more handler focus in order to perceive the new direction of path which includes obstacles.

• Yo! = Bypass an obstacle. The dog comes directly to you without taking any obstacles regardless of what your position and motion might suggest.

The goal is to work on your mechanics for cueing each mode so that you can become fluent and don't have to think about your handling, and your dog understands exactly what you want.

After working on Go, Whoa, and Yo, Dudley will give you a little mo', and share exercises for cueing threadles and pushes to the backside.
