Cup on a Stick
Starting 9 Jul 4 weeks
Training with the Cup on a Stick is an elegant and simple technique of luring and reward delivery increasing clarity for your dog. It will give you space to clearly observe the dog’s movements, easily remove the lure and brings organisation to the often chaotic reward delivery.
This course teaches the skills of learning good technique combined with an understanding of the underlying principles. The lesson progress is based on a successful format developed through teaching hundreds of people, hundreds of dogs and many, many behaviours.
Suitable for:
➤ The lifeskills of learning to move well and learning to stop: with balance, strength and coordination. Not the usual galloping from A to B without care or consideration.
➤ Adolescent dogs that do not know their ar** from elbow, especially of the boy variety and those with intentions to grow BIG. Develop comprehensive proprioception skills and awareness in movement before the love of running and crashing sets in.
➤ Rehabilitation from injury, where Cup on a Stick all began, asking for deliberate placement in walking, patterns and re-correcting balance.
➤ Dogs that can get overaroused in anticipation of food delivery or become a little careless in crowding.
➤ Heelworkfor Sports where the dogs need great balance, stamina and movement fitness. The “walking on sunshine” heelwork that looks like the dog is floating.
For anyone that enjoys the learning process as much as their dog, particularly when it is simple and uncomplicated to learn: just follow the nose.
You will need to build your own Cup on a Stick which is a small measuring cup. We recommended metal cups and lightweight sticks such as a garden cane. Keep the set of 4 cups handy and a short stick of approx 1 foot and a longer stick of 3 foot gives more versatility.

“Using Cup on a Stick with my younster: able to inhibit without looking stressed, his concentration is fantastic, his gait – also on curves – seems to me to be more or less super. He seems to be very balanced. I am also doing it with all four grown up dogs, wow what a difference, when they don’t learn these skills at a young age with my youngster . “

The Cup on a Stick allows me to be in a position to see the whole of his movement without affecting his movement.
What is more astonishing is her 100% focus through the whole routine.
