Virtual AKC Fit Dog Class Lvl 1&2

Service Description

Virtual classes are held at a set time just as with in person classes - Mondays at 6:30. You will need to be able to set your computer or phone up so that I can watch you and the dog (propping your phone works great usually). You will need internet access, but beyond that, classes should be similar to in person classes from the convenience of your home. This class will cover both levels 1 and 2 of the AKC Fit Dog Curriculum. The first three weeks are focused on level one, the second three weeks are focused on level two. There is an option to take just the level two exercises, message me and we can set that up. Attending our FIT DOG six-week course makes your dog eligible for points towards their AKC FIT DOG titles too! Skills Taught include: Tuck sit Nose touch Front paw targeting Shake a paw Cookie stretch Kick back stand Spin left/right Fold back down Cavaletti poles Pivot rear legs We will also discuss the basics of assessing lameness and soreness in your dogs. Required Items For Class: Make sure you have your items for class ordered in advance! If you are unable to order the items, I will have some available to use. I am absolutely happy to make found household objects work when appropriate/possible. Fitness work is often inaccesible price wise and I want to help people understand ways to be creative with equipment. Balance Pad (XL Size - any color, though dogs can see the color blue well.) (Example: https://a.co/d/5k29Rws) Found object alternates: crate pad/egg crate foam, orthopedic dog bed, any object with soft slightly unpredictable motion. Four, Six, Eight, or Twelve Cavaletti Poles for Dogs (Four is the minimum required.) (Example: https://a.co/d/5sXvkYr) Seriously PVC poles propped on textbooks, bricks, tupperware or whatever is totally fine. Two Rubber Feed Bowls (Example: https://a.co/d/ec9QxCV) Found object alternates: large tupperware, buckets, storage bins, thick text books Balance disc (it is much less expensive to get a human version). (Example: https://tinyurl.com/yc45vxfv) Regular well-fitted flat collar or harness Regular 5 to 6-foot leash Low profile dog bed or mat High-Value Treats I do have chronic health issues, so it is possible that class will be pushed out a week if I'm sick, but because my time in the area is limited, that will be a last resort.
