About

In the third course in our series with Mark Keating, you will learn how to take the targeting skills from the second course and apply them into catching dogs. Catching dogs on a suit is the ultimate goal of anyone learning to do decoy work. The skills taught in this course will give you insight into how to properly absorb the impact of a dog being sent off leash from a distance. In the course, we will cover upper and lower body, as well as front and back catches. This course picks up right where the 2nd course left off. You should have a general understanding of how to present the bite and what picture to show the dog. Now you will learn how to bring it full circle and put all the skills you’ve learned into practical applications.
