It is very exciting to get a new pup!! Sometimes we want to jump right into training the puppy in agility. But we have to be very careful of puppies growing bodies and minds. The key to preparing your puppy for performance is having a strong connection and a solid training foundation.
Bonding and connecting are the most important things to do with your pup. In this class we will go over connection games to do with your pup to keep your pup in the Connection Zone with you. Additionally, we will work on teaching your pups your cues. We will use toys, targets and cones to work the groundwork exercises that will teach your pup to follow your body language, learn your verbal cues and understand motion that helps give them the confidence and understanding of your cues before ever seeing any agility equipment. We will also start working distance right from the start so that you are your pup get comfortable working away from each other. Teaching groundwork exercises will help your puppy learn to follow your body language, learn your verbal cues and understand motion. It also helps to teach distance skills.
We do not want to put our pups in a box and wait for them to be grown before we start training them. We also do not want to train our puppies like our adult dogs. We need be knowledge about our pups growing bodies and perform mental and physical exercises geared towards our puppies growing bodies and minds.
What is different about puppies?
Puppies are growing and developing both mentally and physically so need to be very careful of what exercises we do with pups. Bones, growth plates, muscles, ligaments and tendons can grow at different times as do different parts of the body. This makes puppies vulnerable to injury that can be caused by too much exercise or the wrong kind of exercise.
This class is great for all puppies from 8 weeks old to a year old (or older).
