​Power steering is what helps you turn your car with ease. The driver has better degree of control over vehicle and driving becomes more effort free.

IMAGINE HAVING POWER STEERING 
WITH YOUR DOG AT A DISTANCE?

Being able to steer our dog through the agility course is essential. Adding distance and power steering is very useful and fun!! In this class, we will go HOW and WHEN to cue your dog to turn properly for here/come (turn towards you) and switch/flip (turn away from you). We will go over body language, verbal cues and motion to cue your dog to turn. We will practice sequences to teach steering cues and then add more distance to each sequence. This class will show videos of how I taught my puppy (around 11 months in most of the videos) to turn and how I taught him to turn at a distance. In many of these videos, it is the first time that I’ve done these exercises with him so you will see how I teach him to turn and how I troubleshoot and help him to be successful. I will also include videos of my elite dogs Synergy Tandem JP7and Revolution as I push for more distance. 

Step by step instructions, videos and assignments are given. Multiple videos with different dogs will be shown including my young pup Inspire.
