Communicate with Clarity 101 & Communicate with Clarity 201
This in person skills class is an adjunct to our online course, Communicate with Clarity, where both Aspiring Trainers and Pet Owners, Service Dog Prospect Owners, and Schutzhund/IGP competitors who desire excellence in obedience come to learn. Students can come to get eyes on their skills to ensure that they are building their mechanics properly when introducing a new cue. The students start in our online sessions in Communicate with Clarity 101, where students are learning how to develop communications systems based upon how dogs learn best. While there is robust online support, some students naturally prefer to come in person to have their learning mechanics assessed and this is the place to do that! Students will work one at a time for a few minutes during the class to demonstrate the mechanics they are developing and receive feedback on strengths and areas of improvement. All students may participate in each students learning session. Dogs will remain in vehicles/crates, until it is their turn, in order to minimize distractions at this stage of training.
What this class is NOT. This is not a group class where all dogs are out at once. There is no/minimal lecture (other than individual feedback). All students are expected to come to work on the specific skill that they are working to complete in the 101 (and then the 201) module. They are expected to have listened to the lectures and be clear about what skill they are working on (Based on what skills they have already achieved badges for and which badge they are working on) We can help students build the training plans for class during our online Q&A times.
