This is our 8th Drills Ignited with all new Drills and Skills to help motivate you to get out there to train. Its about learning skills, improving what you have, working on timing of your handling and cues while at times testing various combinations. Expect to fail and learn from it, expect to surprise yourself with brilliance. Learning is about trying things out, learning from them and moving forward. The course has 3 lessons with 3 drills in each = 9 sequences all up. Other videos may be added if the group needs clarity.
Level: We use all skills from back of jump, tight wraps, tunnel & jump threadles, YES these can be broken down to reward however it's only fair if they have an understanding of the skill we are testing.
What you get:
-
Lesson Videos every 3 weeks (this allows you time to get your video in)
within the video you get the sequence demonstrated by either Quest, Vybe with a few basic stuff with Billie Jean -each full sequence is also shown in slow motion.
-
Course maps with written explanation on how to break down the skills, verbals used so you can print out and take outside with you. Note: Set ups can differ slightly and this could change the verbal you need to use. You do need to check the lines your set up has and change accordingly.
-
Feedback- for those working- This is not unlimited amount of video to receive feedback, but within reason, approx. 5min per week of cut down video to see your progress and receive feedback on how you can improves, tweaks and changes you can make, assess your rewarding & general progression. Please note- No feedback will be give on weekends.
Helpful hint- Its always best to keep videos as short as possible, to be able to follow the feedback given and get the most out of your working placement.
What you need:
4 x Jumps
1 x Tunnel
Optional: Weavers - I have added weavers at the end of each sequence so it can be left out without affecting anything or added for some extra training.
Access to Facebook group only once full payment is made.
Working: $230.00 per dog- submit video of you working your own dog for personalised feedback
