Service Description

BAC - 1 Body Awareness & Conditioning Class This class introduces dogs and handlers to the basic concepts of body awareness and conditioning. Dogs with physical issues (injury, rehab after surgery or injury, etc.) should be evaluated by a sports medicine veterinarian. (Ask if you need a referral.) It's a great foundation class for puppies; safe, fun, teaching focus, confidence and shaping skills that are beneficial for all future learning, regardless of your areas of interest. It's also a perfect class to supplement any and all other types of classes you may be taking with your dog, from conformation to obedience, rally, herding, tracking, scent work, dock diving and more. This class is taught with extreme attention to detail. Just as you would expect a coach to help you achieve ideal form if you were lifting weights or working in a gym, our job is to teach you use your hands, treats, the dog’s collar and props (as needed) to achieve proper form. Online groups or other workshop that do not pay attention to the small details have the potential to create problems with the dogs. One of the great things about this type of training is your ability to work at home with a few pieces of equipment. You can work your dog’s brain and body, even when the weather is bad. BAC exercises support overall conditioning to improve dog sports performance, create proper body use/development in young dogs and help seniors maintain their fitness. It’s also a great way to improve communication with your dog, enhance your luring and shaping skills and attention to detail. Prerequisite: Dogs of all ages and levels are welcome in this class. It's a great class for seniors as well as puppies. Dogs should have basic on-leash control and be food motivated. No aggressive or reactive dogs in this class. Questions?
