certainly Pere knowledge on how to run the dogs, goes far beyond the agility, so we showed how conceptual work, give us much more autonomy on the track to us, and more independence to the dog. It worked various forms of driving, but became much emphasis on directional brands, as an indispensable resource, you can use or not, but they should have all the dogs who want to practice this discipline. This showed us her dog live with Asia, which led to that "tele-engineered car, without leaving the site using only verbal cues. Teach this to our dog Pere told us, that gives security, and fosters cognitive skills, compared to driving based on "open / close doors" in which the dog does not think, but only passing through the gates that open and prevents it closed, in which the dog does not think, just go looking for our next mark indicating "you have to go through here."
practice exercises start with the "next" Natural change direction and against stimulus (in M and as I said Pere Heart) After working several ski jumps / tunnels, where we conduct exercises, changes ahead , blind Cruces, Cruces behind, etc ...
time, space, and the obstacles that we had not given to us more so than Peter was given to extend the half-day seminar, in which the club PICAN us allowed to enjoy its excellent facilities. Here we worked on the correct construction of the various obstacles. Explained the two ways of doing Zones vs. Running Contacts. 2on2off, the 4 types of entries to the slalom, and how to build using the 2 × 2 Susan Garrett.
