The Foundations of Competitive Obedience Disc 2- Teaching Precision
Explores how to teach your dog or puppy precise gymnastic skills; to teach the finish and true attention; to fade prompts from inducive commands and wean from food; to teach your dog to respond positively to correction; to develop correct, spirited heeling through collection. Teaching Precision teaches the dog the gymnastic skills required to be consistently precise without the use of compulsion (turns, finishes, fronts, etc.) What to expect and how to reinforce proper behaviors during the food weaning process, teaching a positive response to correction and cuing the dog in a subtle way for trials/exhibition for an increase in drive is discussed.

The Foundations of Competitive Obedience Disc 3- Heeling, the Recall and Motion Exercises
This production details the final steps in preparation for world-class performance. The steps in attaining correct, animated, polished heeling, turns and the motion exercises are shown in detail while integrating verbal markers to the training program for clear, precise feedback for the canine student.

Through the use of correct and incorrect behavior markers and Joanne’s variation on a traditional terminal cue, the viewer is led through the pre-requisites needed for any dog-handler team. The use of food in obedience training is detailed while teaching the concepts of progression, upping-the-ante and drive containment. Conditioning the correct behavior marker as a secondary reinforcer and the use of an incorrect response marker to extinguish minimal effort and incorrect performance is demonstrated throughout.

Through discrimination, the dog is taught a correct, gymnastic front as the precursor for the recall and retrieves. Common problems with the recall are addressed and solutions for inconsistent performance are discussed. The steps in teaching an IPO left-about turn are detailed and considerations to drive level and body type are discussed as relevant to heel position, gymnastic performance and the use of a training partner.

The sit, down and stand are taught as “positions” and integration into complete motion exercises is detailed, common issues are addressed and proofing is discussed. The delicate balance between speed and stays is addressed and a dialog about handling, using a training partner and considerations for individual dogs is presented.

A beautiful production, shot in 16:9 Hi-Definition featuring interview footage and detailed graphics, this broadcast quality production is ideal for anyone wanting to attain higher performance in obedience competition.
