“Engagement and Motivation for Dog Sports”
with Peg Munves – Sunday March 8, 2015
These days, dog sports training is more than behaviors. It's all about attitude and relationship and creating joyful partnerships. By utilizing classical learning, this 5 hour workshop shares how to find that balance between motivation and precision while creating an engaged dog who wants to work and work. Fun, exciting and reinforcing for both members of the team, this training is great for all teams: for those who want to boost their ring performance, to new teams developing their partnerships, to those whose dogs do a great warmup but who are lackluster in the ring. Verbal markers will also be trained, as well as building an occasion setter that gets the dog in work mode. Peg will share how to utilize these to increase the dog's drive and energy throughout the performance.
Comments from past workshop attendees:
“What makes you truly unique and talented is your ability to transmit that knowledge to beginner dog handlers in a way that we can understand and use in daily training with our dog partners. With an emphasis on team engagement, you show us how to build and reinforce that all important relationship which is the basis for success in obedience competition. I was discussing tonight how much your seminar has helped with agility. I am using engagement for going into the agility ring too, and it helps a lot with focus. So, thank you!!” Jill Stoller, Upper Saddle River, NJ
“We did have fun at a recent trial, and the engagement techniques from the workshop really paid off especially on Saturday. Dori's attention and heeling was so much stronger - we placed first three times, two of them in level 3.” Lauren Jones Wenzel, CPDT-KA, Union City, NJ
“As I re-read the information it continues to set off lights in my head Oh! I get it now! I enjoy 5 minute training with my dogs, keeping them engaged no matter the time or the day. I look forward to continuing with what I've learned from the workshop and sincerely hope that I can take another class or workshop with you in the future.” Cathy Mann, Highland Lakes, NJ
“The seminar work has been paying off in the agility ring as well (connection means better performance in the discriminations).” Nicole Levien, West New York, NJ
