12+ new patterns and exercises for training gaiting and free-baiting!
Our 'Precision Cavaletti' course has 12+ new patterns and exercises specifically designed to help your dog think about how they use their legs and precisely place their feet, both when gaiting and free stacking. This helps your dog with foot timing and awareness and helps you train and troubleshoot common issues.
Another major advantage of training with these exercises is knowing exactly how many strides it takes for your dog to gait perfectly, and how to use that in the ring to adapt your dog's gait for the perfect movement in front of the judge.
The new patterns in this course include these benefits and solutions to common problems:
- How to take an equal number of steps through the poles for even and consistent gaiting
- When to shorten your dog's strides (and how)
- When to lengthen your dog's strides (and how)
- Teach your dog to respect handler speed
- Teach your dog not to cut corners on the go-around
- Teach your dog not to look up at the handler
- Foot awareness for precise stopping after gaiting and when free baiting
- much more!
You will walk away from this course equipped with new training exercises for your dog to create awareness and consistency in your gaiting and free baiting. These training exercises translate into direct behaviours for the show ring!
How is this course different from our other Cavaletti courses? This course has brand-new, never-before-seen patterns that are specifically for precision in movement and free baiting. Our original "Cavaletti Pole Training for Dogs" course introduces you to the method and how to improve fitness and side gait. Our "Cavaletti Pole Training for Dogs webinar" focuses on new patterns specifically on strengthening exercises. They can all be used together and make a great complete training guide!
