From Techniques To Course Training

"I have been studying OMD handling techniques from the technique videos. What should I focus on next?"


Once you master some of the handling techniques, you will need to learn to recognize the situations where you can use them. Understanding the shape of the line each specific technique creates for the dog will get you started. Leading OMD Coach Janita Leinonen introduces the purpose and shape of the dog's line of 12 different techniques in one simple exercise of 4 jumps for her students in two Next Level online seminar episodes:

As a OneMind Dogs premium member you can practice the exercises of these two videos, and support your learning by checking the details of each technique on the handling technique videos.

If you are not a premium member yet, you can now buy these two videos and learn to apply the techniques in just 2 weeks!

Next Step: Try Longer Sequences

When you know how to use your handling tools, you can try them out in sequences or courses. You can find a lot of course training ideas from the course training category:

The latest addition to the course training section is an exercise called "One Course - Two Handling Options", which demonstrates how the selection of OMD handling tools enables different styles of handling for different types of handlers and dogs.

If you are planning to try out some completely new moves, split the sequence in smaller sections first and combine them only when each section goes smoothly on its own. Plan carefully how you're going to reward your dog and remember to have fun!
