What Can I expect to Learn at a Pawsitive Vybe Disc Dog Seminar?

Tough Question.

You can expect to learn a ton about throwing, handling and playing the game of disc with your dog. There is no set schedule in our seminars - learning takes place a bit more organically. Essentially we're approaching teaching seminar participants the same way we approach our dog training:

Guiding PhilosophyWe cater to the strengths and weakness of the individual and the Pack. We evaluate the situation and put together a successful training plan for the session.

Below I've listed 57 of our lessons that we have available to us in a seminar. For those of you who have taken seminars from us, many of these will sound familiar. For those of you who are considering learning with us, each of these lessons can be compressed into 2 or three sentences or expanded to fill 30 minutes. Many of these lessons tie into eachother and are often organized to mesh seamlessly and some are always covered at our seminars.

   

Learning to Run Patterns - Drill #1

Dog Training

Image by Magda MichalskaOne thing that separates the Pros from the soon to be Pros is Throwing With Intent, intending to throw to a spot at a particular distance, height and time in order to elicit a jump from your dog. Sounds easy, right?

Well it is easy for some of us. Former football players are well aware of hitting a moving target via the Quarterback/Receiver relationship in their games. Soccer players know where to put it when a teammate “shows for the ball”. Hockey players fully understand how to pass the puck for a one-timer. Basketball players make unbelievable passes on the Fast Break. Baseball players are expert at throwing and often have football experience. There are some other athletic histories that can serve as foundational understanding of hitting a moving target in stride (Perhaps you’ll leave a comment below to draw attention to them.), but many people just do not have that particular athletic history to draw from and are not familiar with that concept.
