Scurry Dog is a super fun new activity for pet dogs and their humans, inspired by the world of gundogs.
There are five exciting games inside Scurry Dog: Retrieve, Nose Quest, Scramble Grid, Sniffit Trail and Everyday Dog. These games reflect the challenges that gundogs and their handlers face in the shooting field, minus the birds, the guns and the tweed.
(Find out more about the 5 games here: www.scurrydog.com)
Each game has its own skills and benefits, from nose games to retrieving, from speed to patience and focus.
What's inside this course:
You and your dog will develop skills for Level 2 games, so that you can enter trails, complete Level 2 and earn your Level 2 badge. In this course, we will focus on the Retrieve, Scramble Grid and Everyday Dog.
Prerequisites:
All breeds are welcome to take part and play the gundog games of Scurry Dog.
For this Level 2 course, your dog needs to be confident in retrieving a toy, tennis ball or a dummy into hand, a tub or to the ground near you. You will also need a trained heel position and a stay with about 10 paces away.
Your dog needs to be able to train off-lead in this class and focus on you in a space shared with other teams.
As a handler, you need to know how to use a food lure and a clicker. You will need to know the basic calming games and engagement games that we cover in the Foundation Course.
If you don't think you and your dog can do the above yet, check out the foundations course or drop me an email to info@synchrodog.co.uk so we can arrange 1-1 support for you before the next enrollment.
