The five-hour course is split into three sections:

1. Motivation

Dog Training starts with your relationship and your dog’s desire to work with you and have fun together. Getting the right energy level is so important for competitive sports. You want the drive but also need the precision.

2. Precision and Duration 

Having solid foundations and a firm understanding of the criteria sets you up for success.

3. Movement and Balance

Muscular balance is essential for peak performance.

Di’s unique approach to heelwork foundations ensures happy, enthusiastic dogs that can perform precise moves and exercises with control, attitude, and flair.
