Description

Sure, dog parkour involves jumping, crawling, running, and balancing. But is it SO much more than that!

Your dog won't just learn parkour in this class. Kate's parkour exercises also teach skills that are critical for everyday life: impulse control, recall, focus, and communication with you... even when distractions are present.

Parkour exercises -- jumping, balancing atop objects, running in patterns, and more -- should not be about daredevil tricks that risk your dog's health or break his trust in you. Instead, parkour is a way to build the communication between you and your dog through fun activities. And you can win titles and ribbons along the way! Kate emphasizes safety and skill-building from the ground up, as in any true competitive sport.

By the end of this class, you'll be ready to start earning your Level 1 title with All Dogs Parkour, an international dog parkour organization that awards titles via video submission. Dogs of all shapes, ages, and abilities are encouraged to participate in ADP.

Kate is a certified dog parkour instructor, certified dog trainer, certified dog behavior consultant, and award-winning author of dog training books, so you and your dog are in the best hands.

Lessons are short and clear, with tons of step-by-step videos you can easily follow. Join the parkour party with Kate and her Chihuahua mixes, and you'll learn skills that go far beyond just fun and games!
