Let the fun begin!

New and improved Let’s play is back! After the first two generations of amazing and successful Let’s play students I have decided to make some modifications to the program in order to make it even more effective and fun. So the original Let’s play has developed into 3 different but related classes.

  • Let’s play is the heart of it all. It is a class focusing only on the attitude and playing games. Playing with the dog is not only a training tool; it is an action that is not only incredibly fun and relaxing for both you and your dog, but also an activity that builds relationship and trust and a strong foundation for just about anything you want to do with your dog. This class is not specialized in agility yet, but the varieties of the games we play are designed with agility dog in mind. This class is especially appropriate for dogs with motivational issues, scared and sensitive dogs, but also young dogs/puppies and dogs that need help with retrieving/releasing toys. The class lasts 9 weeks.
  • Let’s play agility is a follow up class. We will slowly upgrade the games from Let’s play into real agility training, making sure that we don’t loose the speed and enthusiasm in the process. It is a step-by-step guide on how to get the best out of your dog on a course. Both classes work the best if you take them one after another (LP first). If you choose to do only LP agility, it is mandatory to do so in a package with silent auditing of LP, because it is important to get familiar with the games we played in LP. The class lasts 12 weeks.
  • Let’s play obedience is a class for everyone looking for new challenges, wanting to know more about obedience or learning about how to make obedience fun. This class doesn’t follow any particular obedience program, but focuses on laying good foundation for any obedience sport you wish to continue with. The program is designed in a way that it is appropriate for beginners, but also for teams who want to improve focus and motivation in obedience, or re-train particular problematic exercise. The class lasts 12 weeks.

The registration for all the classes is already open! The classes start on Monday 23th of March! You can read more about each individual class by clicking on their name or page in the menu. If you have any questions you are welcome to contact me.

I just found this website and saw that the Let’s Play class started on March 20th. Is it too late to join?

I keep all the topics open for discussion at all times, so technically it is no problem if you join us now. We are in 4th week right now, there are 5 more to go. During this time I answer all the comments. After the class closes you can still see the topics/lessons and all the comments, but it is not possible to add new comments.

I have a dog that has the agility skills but is a worrier…he stresses on start lines and if I am late in handling he will go sniff or leave. He hates to make a mistake. Will this course help? He is 5.

Yes, we deal with all sorts of problems in this class, competition stress included. But it is not something that can change over night. It takes lots and lots of playing, relationship building, creating new associations and routines. But that is exactly what we are doing in this class. 🙂

So glad that I found you! This is just what Sawyer (my Aussie) and I need. Should I audit “Let’s Play” first and then Obedience or try to do them both at the same time? Thanks in advance.

Well that depends of how big of a problem you2 are having. If he likes to play with you anywhere anytime but you have problems channelling that enthusiasm into obedience, you can easily do both at the same time. If on the other hand you feel like his attitude towards playing could be improved, I suggest you do the LP first. It helps a lot when you devote some time to playing and playing alone. Makes miracles when it comes to dog’s attitude. 🙂
