Teaching your dog to drive forward opens up your handling options and makes for a more flowing smooth run. Additionally, many FAST/Chances/Gamblers/Jackpot classes require the dog to send ahead while being behind a line. In this class, we will go over the steps to teach your dog to continue to drive forward even when you get behind. We will be doing my favorite driving forward exercises to teach our dogs to go go go!! 

This class is self paced! You have access to all material as soon as you sign up. We start with the groundwork exercises to teach forward distance without equipment and move on to working with equipment. 


LESSONS INCLUDE:

* Step by step instructions, videos and assignments 

*Detailed sequence/course analysis
