UPDATE: I am now teaching classes in the
Highlands, just outside of Victoria. Our training area is fully
fenced with the new gravel footing (recommended in the horse sport
world).
I teach agility and obedience classes
using motivational methods and clickers. I believe in positive
reinforcement for both the dogs and their human handlers, with an
emphasis on keeping classes fun. Any breed and age of dog is
welcome, from puppies to senior canines.
During the Autumn and Winter, classes
are on Saturdays, but during days with longer daylight hours, there are
also weekday evening classes. I also teach private lessons: from
competitive agility tips to behaviour modification for "problem"
behaviours to basic manners training for family pets.
Agility is a great way to teach and
build on a dog's basic obedience. It is self-rewarding for the
dogs because they love simply doing it. I teach classes for dogs
and handlers with no experience to advanced classes for those wishing
to compete. We also have several drop-in sessions for those who
have taken lessons with us or train with one of the local agility clubs
but want some extra practice in a different environment.
Classes are held at in the Highlands
(near Victoria), British Columbia. If you think you might be
interested in attending, feel free to come out and watch. Please contact me, Sally, for further information on
upcoming classes.
