Shaping Up! – Starting March 13th!

We are super excited about this new program that gives you a look into how and what we are training our dogs on a weekly basis. This program is free to anyone currently registered in our online classes and will give you a glimpse of how all the foundation training and skill building develops into future handling, training and competition.
We will show what we are up to with the 8 dogs we are currently training as we prepare for the 2025 competition season. Everything from our training goals, the sequences and course work we run, the results from our competitions as well as information on how we raise, train, condition and maintain our dogs at the top level of the sport.
Monthly Q&A as well as updates on our training goals, challenges and triumphs. We invite you to join us in learning, training and staying motivated as a community.
