Drive Sports and Why We Love Them

 From time to time, you may see videos and pictures of our dogs biting sleeves, barking at the ‘bad guy’ in the blind, climbing walls to grab a tug or pulling a sled.
What is this all about and why do we do it? First…we are nutty dog people, so dog sports in our blood.  Once a person starts down the rabbit hole of a dog sport, there is a natural deep appreciation for a dogs intelligence, genetics and power.   What a dog is bred to do...or capable of doing despite the genetic map is mind blowing.  
IGP (aka  IPO….aka Shutzhund) started back in the 1900’s in Germany as a breeding test German Shepherds.  There are 3 phases to the sport.  Tracking, obedience and protection. The dog must pass all 3 phases (usually in one day) to earn a title.  If the dog passed…breeders could then consider the dog in their breeding program.  Read more..

Basic Obedience Class with Teri was amazingly helpful. Benson is so much more attentive, responsive and a joy to work with. I am thrilled with his progress and we're having so much fun continuing the training! ​

Words cannot express how much Javier and I adore Teri. We have taken both private lessons and group classes with her; each has been fun, and effective. Teri is knowledgeable beyond belief, and is a guru of positive reinforcement training methods. She taught me to better communicate with Javier, and as a result he has transformed from a naughty puppy to a well-behaved dog who is full of joy!

I can't say enough about our experience with Ligiro training!   With Teri's warm and patient support, my dog and I not only learned some new tricks and strengthened old skills, we really learned how to communicate with one another. Teri was able to show me how to communicate with my dog so that he understood what I was asking of him, and in turn, I'm more bonded with my best friend. What's more? The love Teri has for dogs, for teaching, and my dog in particular, really shines through, making what could have been a stressful experience truly a joy. Teri - Blue and I can't thank you enough!
Warmly, ​
