Foundation Games and Motivation 

This class will help prepare the dog to work off leash in a competitive ring environment. We will also work to develop a motivated dog that loves to learn and be in the ring without the constant need for treats and cookies constantly present and in the pocket or in the bait bag of the handler. We will also present distractions and proofing to help the dog continue to love to work even when distractions are present during the performance.
