Frequently Asked Questions
I don't adhere to a specific "system". I've been lucky enough to travel throughout Europe and train with amazing trainers from Croatia, Germany, Sweden, Austria, the Czech Republic, the UK... What I've found is that there is no one "system" that will suit every dog. Some dogs will need more motivation, a reason to chase. These dogs want handling moves that will keep you in motion. Other dogs have enough motivation and need more control, more clarity and earlier cues to prevent off-courses and tighten up turns. Some dogs are fantastic at understanding verbals, others... not so much. My aim is with every team to optimize their handling to get them around the course and to shave off time. I encourage experimenting with handling options and finding what works best for every team. I am still learning as I continue on my journey and love passing down what I learn to my students.
To join my lessons, the cost is $120AUD for 4 course maps and analysis. It doesn't matter how quickly or slowly you complete the courses, so you can fit it into your own schedule. As soon as you've run a course twice and sent through video, I'll give you a new map. If that takes you a month, no worries. If you get it done quicker, great! I know that sometimes "life happens" so I want your training tof it in with your schedule.
Yes! I design courses individually based on each person's equipment, ability/skill level and their goals for the course. As I get to know you and your dog better, I'll find ways to really build your skills based on what I've seen you need work on.
It would be best, however, if you had at least 4 jumps and one tunnel. Everything else is a bonus.
