All Things Backwards – It's Magic!

All Things Backwards!

This class focuses on doing things backwards! Rear end awareness is crucial to Freestyle as we do so many things with our dog moving backwards. This is also a great class for people engaged in other dog sports who want to really amp up their dog’s understanding of his rear end! We will touch on the following (and more!)

Back weaves
Circle Backwards
Crawl backwards
Back heeling
Reverse positions
Back pivots
