Super Drill

Super Drill is a special half hour class open to all of our competition level teams. Super Drill includes heeling drills, mega-distraction stays and recalls, and even team games and races; all designed to enhance the dog's reliability and dependability. Most handlers choose this class because the dog has fun while learning to interact socially with their "team mates".

See "Easy 8's"Video Animation!

In an exercise called "Easy 8's", Handlers heel as a group in a figure eight Pattern. The goal: perfect heeling in a team like atmosphere!

Opposing 8s Challenge Both the Dogs and Their Handlers!!

"Opposing 8's"
Once dogs and their people master the "Easy 8" exercise, two teams of up to ten dogs each line up opposite each other to try the much more difficult "Opposing 8's" drill.

See Video Animation!

Other types of drills work on both "heel" and "stay" at the same time!

See a "Mega-Distraction Stay" VideoAnimation!

When dogs become more experienced and reliable at performing the various stay exercises they can sometimes become jaded with the same old drills.

Retrieving the "right" thing requires a keen nose!

Retrieving it quickly and enthusiastically can be reinforced with a little "Scent Retrieve Racing!"
