Description
Wag It! Novice Hodgepodge Class uses positive relationship-based training techniques. Dogs will learn to push buttons, cross bridges, roll balls, ride scooters, heel on both sides, search for hidden scents, and much, much more! Wag It Games help to build focus, improve handlers’ training skills, provide work for “busy” dogs, and above all are just plain fun for humans and dogs!
Rapidly rising in popularity, Wag It Games currently encompass seven different fun-filled activities. This novice class will introduce participants to four of those activities: Shadow Skills (sort of like rally), No Need for Speed Obstacles, Ball Skills, and the very popular Sniff It, which is a version of scentplay/nosework. After completing this Hodgepodge class, participants may elect to focus on the activities they enjoy most by taking more specialized advanced classes. (For more detailed descriptions and photos, visit the Wag It website at wagitgames.com)
No purchases will be mandatory, but if people want to practice obstacles at home there will be $5 - $10 of equipment they may want to invest in. Bring LOTS of treats in a treat pouch or easily accessible baggy pocket, and adjust your dog’s meals accordingly. Expect your dog to need a nap after class. Wag It is not terribly athletic, but we will be stretching their brains and dogs will be cognitively tired after a session.
Prerequisite: Dogs should be able to walk on a loose leash most of the time, and know “sit” and “down.” An on leash “stay” and “come” is helpful as well. If you’d like to be even more prepared, start to work on heeling on both sides. Wag It does not permit reactive/aggressive dogs in group classes, but private lessons can be made available and are encouraged, since Wag It is very helpful training for dogs with problem issues.
