Finland Update - Some pictures



These shots were taken from training at the KKK Club, Finland. I wish I could find a purpose built venue like this in the UK!

Finland Update Day 2

Moi, Hello!

I’m having a well deserved rest day today! I have been in Helsinki since Wednesday evening. We landed in snow, but that has since gone.

Last night I conducted a 2 x 2hour training seminar for 2 groups of 5. We specifically looked at shaping the dogs onto tight turns from a distance. I was working with the handlers on having the confidence to send their dogs into turns, waiting and rewarding them for making the turn. This was giving the dogs confidence and drive into the jumps.

A quick summary from last night (Hope you can understand my Finnish!)

Muistakaa tekniikat joita harjoittelimme. On tärkeää antaa koiran tehdä käännökset itsenäisesti ja palkata koira siitä, että se etenee itsenäisesti seuraavalle esteelle.

Ratapiirustukset tulevat tälle sivulle, kun olen takaisin Englannissa.
