Handlers were provided with the following:
On Saturday morning the handlers had an interactive refresher session on clicker
training, with a few interecting practicals to illustrate the principles.
Exercises included conditioning their dogs to the clicker, & targeting. A couple
of fun games were added too!
The final practical exercise was to use what they had been taught to get each of their own dogs into a box, in a sitting position, and on cue, This was highly successful!
The group was then divided into two, separating those doing obedience from those doing agility. The obedience session was taken by Nadine, and the agility by Rory.
