Control Play
This is the next step up after clicker class
This is the foundation class for agility.
The focus of this class is to have a connection between the dog and handler so that the dog is able to be off lead and stay with the handler in our busy environment. A series of games are played to build a strong relationship between you and your dog, as well as learning flatwork to help when you move on to agility.
