Fundemantals of Comp Obed On-Line - Working Fundemantals of Comp Obed On-Line - Working This is an all on-line competition obedience course. In the course, you will learn how to begin teaching a wide variety of crucial skills for competition-bound puppies. These include different techniques for training with food; attention, position changes (sit, down, stand), cookie-toss recalls, beginning sit stay, perch and platform work, beginning target work, beginning retrieve work, and general handling for grooming and veterinary care. All the video lessons are hosted on the Thinkific platform. A working spot in the course gives you a chance to get feedback from Adele during the Zoom class meetings, scheduled every other week. In addition to the 6 weeks of feedback via Zoom, you will have full access to all of the course video lessons for a full 6 months from when you start the lessons, as well as access to the course Facebook group for that same 6 months. Prerequisites No prior training is required. This class is geared toward young puppies with little to no training and trainers who are interested in training for obedience and Rally titles.

	Notes: For the course description, please click on the course name. Working spot students may join the weekly Zoom meeting (times are Eastern time!) for feedback from Adele. You will be enrolled in the class on the Thinkific website, on which Adele hosts the course videos. You are expected to watch the videos and work on the skill training with your dog prior to each week's Zoom class. Class dates: May 12, 26; June 9, 23; July 7, 21
Maneuvers On-Line - Auditing Spot Maneuvers On-Line - Auditing Spot This is Adele's first all on-line competition obedience course. In the course, you will learn how to teach your dog power steering commands for improved body awareness (forward, backward, side-step right and left, perch work, and tight turns to the right and left). All the video lessons are hosted on the Thinkific platform. An auditing spot in the course gives you full access to all of the course's video lessons on the Thinkific platform for a full 6 months from when you start the lessons, as well as access to the course Facebook group for that same 6 months. You may read all of the posts and watch all the videos posted by students with working spots and my critiques on the Facebook group, but may not post videos about your dog. You may ask technical questions about using the Thinkific site. While you may sign up here on this website, if you have never taken a class at Northfield Dog Training, you will find it far easier and quicker to sign up right on the Thinkific site. Prerequisites Your dog should have basic attention on you, and you should be able to get your dog to sit from a stand and stand from a sit.	Sat	12:00-1:00 PM	Jan 9	Jul 9	$97	Adele	21A15MANOLAudit	20
