Connection, Cooperation & Control (CCC)™ Level 1
Class Fee: $150
Course Length: 6 weeks; 1.5 hour classes
Learn the philosophy behind CCC’s unique puzzle reward system and how to incorporate it into your training. Motivate your dog to work with you even when you don’t have treats in your pocket by teaching him to solve two food puzzles that will be used as a reward throughout the class. Teach your dog voluntary eye contact, connection, cooperation, explicit permission and a simple relaxation technique to help him find balance. Improve your ability to read shifts in your dog’s arousal and make adjustments to keep him thoughtful, productive and compliant. Discover how your body language and intent influence the dog’s ability to work with you as you begin learning how to walk together on a loose leash.
This unique course will consist of 6 individual classes at 1.5 hours per class to provide all class participants with adequate learning time. Additionally, there are required supplemental course materials that all participants will purchase directly from the instructor for $28.
