This DVD is a live recording of a presentation on training the pre-sports puppy at the 2007 Clean Run Instructor conference. From the age of 3 to 14 months, a puppy is a sponge. It is important that all dogs are taught appropriate behaviour at this critical phase of their life. For puppies that have a future in competitive dog sports the proper foundation is crucial. In this DVD, Rachel Saunders discusses her training methods for creating a balance between play and control in puppies including:

• Sit, stand and down (stationary and moving)

• Stay

• Food and toy play

• Basic recalls and recalls with distractions

• Verbal directionals – left and right

• Hand touches

• Body awareness exercises – wobble board and teeter bang game • Initial jump work ,etc

“getting a new pup in a couple of weeks time, so I’m doing my homework to make sure I do everything right this time – LOL , will most likely make new mistakes! This DVD is great for “filling in the holes” and also for reminding me of the not so obvious things to do/not to do.”
