When training a stopped dogwalk, Tammy strives for an independent end-behavior, forward drive over the obstacle, lateral handling distance, sendaways, and strong verbal release cues. If you have to manage your dog’s performance on the contact, you are not free to handle the course in the manner you wish. An independent dogwalk behavior gives you control of your movements on course and allows the dog to feel confident and in control of his choices, which in turn creates faster, more fluid performances.

By dissecting the dogwalk performance into small pieces, Tammy has been able to develop a method that makes sense not only to her students but also to their dogs! There are no props or targets used in her methods to teach the stopped end-behavior except for the board itself—so no luring, physical manipulation, or fading is used. 

The program includes homework that you can do at home away from the equipment, and help teams not only feel successful but also feel like they are making progress. 

Note: Although the class focuses on the dogwalk, the behaviors and exercises transfer to the A-frame if you also want to do a stopped A-frame. The teeter has different criteria so this class will not help with teeter training.

You can start this self-study course whenever you like. It includes 8 lessons that you can complete at your own pace. There are no fixed deadlines or due dates.

"I am SO GLAD I took this course. I will admit I was skeptical. I thought my dogwalks were broken forever... [After finishing the course] I can honestly say we are at a 90% success rate right now and I know that the more I continue to practice the planks, the better and better it will get."

"This course has literally been a game-changer for us. It’s all due to Tammy's clear step-by-step approach, and even more by her quick and thorough answers to every question."

"This class was amazing!!! Loved it. I ran my dog in a seminar today and every dogwalk was fast; she nailed her end position every time. She self-released once. I handled it as you taught us, and she showed absolute understanding!  I know we still have some finishing work to do, but will be working my young dog with your program as well. Thank you SO much."

"Thanks to this course, we are now on track to solving the #1 problem that was holding us back."

"Tammy, thanks again for an excellent course.  I've recommended it to my friends looking to fix their dogwalks."

"[By the end of Tammy's course] my dog's consistency on the dogwalk has improved so much."

"Thank you Tammy. The course was excellent. I especially appreciated how quickly and thoughtfully you answered all my questions. That was incredibly helpful to our progress."

"Thank you Tammy! It was a great course!"

"Just wanted to thank you for a great course. Although I was a "lurker," not a "poster," I found it to be a great experience. I am just starting out with a young dog (15 mo) and I can already see that she has a better understanding than any of my previous dogs. We did our first agility trial this past weekend and she nailed two dog walks with good speed and 2o2o. Needless to say I am very excited! Thanks for all of your help! P.S. I really liked how it was set up to release lessons once a week. I have done other on-line classes and realize now that I rushed through because all of the classes were released at the beginning. Your setup helped me to be patient and focus on the training. It definitely worked for us and I have recommended your course to several other people. Hopefully you will run it again!"
