Pre-sport Prep:
Whether you want to build a relationship with your dog, gain foundation skills of agility or obedience, or learn some canine conditioning this class is for you. We will work proprioception (body awareness) exercises to help condition our dogs to be strong and safe canine athletes. We will also play games to build our bonds with our dogs. Great recall (come), building value for being with us (by your side or even in the 'heel position) and play various games to teach our dogs to problem solve, think and work as a team with us.
