Working at the awesome facilities of hogdogproductions.com/in Millersville, MD Mark's client booked a private session with the facility (really inexpensive to be able to use these great resources in a relaxed, private time). In this session we are really focusing on the handler learning advanced techniques of planning, focus and execution for competitive exercises. Toby is having a great time learning and playing and his mom is doing such a great job of learning to be her own coach and trainer!
Mark talking with Toby's owner about the principles we just worked on up on the dock. To make the most of each training session it is vital to review, in your own mind or with a training partner, what you just did. What worked well? What needed improvement? Where are you going next with your training plan...you have one, right? If not, you're planning to fail or at the very least taking waaaaaay longer to make the progress you want with your dog and you are probably repeating a lot of mistakes, missing opportunities for advancement and very likely making training far too repetitive for your dog and boring for both of you!
Professional coaching can tremendously speed up your training, make it much more fun for you and your dog and of course help be far more competitive and do so with a positive and playful spirit.
