Throughout the 6 weeks of content, we will discuss the science and practical applications (games!) to support your dog in the “under pressure” dog sports environment.
Working students AND auditing students are invited to participate in the weekly Zoom discussions (see below of dates) as we reflect on what has been going on, prepare for what is ahead, and answer questions!
Zoom sessions will include a slideshow and videos to demonstrate concepts and games. Bobbie and Kathy will lead discussions in the application of these games and how they impact the dog’s neurobiology, supporting sustainable behavior change.
This class includes:

Interactive opportunities for working spots AND auditors with the SIX live Zoom Chats (see below for dates)
