Ann Braue needs no introduction for those who are involved in the world of Agility training. However, if you have never competed in Agility and if you have a young dog that you want to establish a foundation of self-confidence, a positive attitude towards training and a dog that’s a problem solver then Ann is one of the best coaches anywhere.
As an instructor, Ann has set the bar with a resume of competing internationally 6 times with dogs she raised and trained from puppies. She has competed as a team member of the AKC FCI Agility World Championship, as well as being the USA representative at Cruffs in England. In addition, Ann has been the coach of the US World Agility team four times.
Ann is certainly not new to us here at Leerburg. Over the past 10 years both Ed Frawley and Cindy Rhodes have attended Ann’s puppy seminar numerous times. Cindy has used Ann’s training system on Rush (her Mondio Ring competition dog), Favor (her female in training for the French Ring Sport), and now Maybe (who we aspire for Competition Obedience). We love Ann Braue as a person and as a dog trainer.
She takes her commitment to training her dogs and her students very seriously. In her own words, “When I bring a puppy home I recognize that my puppy is learning 24/7! I take bringing a puppy into my home extremely seriously. I recognize that the relationship and skills I build are going to impact the entire career of my dog. During the first couple of years I work hard to make certain my pup sees me as the “most fun, most interesting “part of his life. Therefore, I control virtually every minute of every day with my pup. This takes effort and planning on my part. Building a great relationship with your pup does not “Just Happen”.”
Ann is currently a professional dog trainer, an international Agility competitor, and an international Agility coach. Before that, she was a school teacher who understands, more than most, how to break an exercise down and then explain why she did it the way she did, to her students.
Here is what she has to say about how she manages new puppies, “During the first couple of years of my pup’s life, I am very aware of everything I expose him to. I am very conscious of every situation I put my pup in. I do not just turn my pup loose in the yard with my adult dogs and hope all goes well. When I bring my pup home, I restrict the amount of time it will spend with my adult dogs. I use a crate or X-pen whenever I cannot be actively supervising my pup. Within reason, I do all of the care taking of my pup; I do the feeding, pottying, etc. I want my pup to see me as the “biggest, most important” part of its life.”
The video footage in our online course and DVD comes right out of a seminars Leerburg filmed at Ann’s training center in WI. Ann has been holding these puppy seminars for over 10 years. They have gotten better and better as she continues to add more content. The seminars help develop a thoughtful, problem-solving puppy.
What's the difference between this course, the DVD, and the stream?
DVD: 3 hours, 23 minutes (physical copy and immediate streaming access)
Stream: 3 hours, 23 minutes, lifetime access, stream from anywhere
Online Course: 85 videos (315 minutes), additional text content, discussion board, lifetime access, stream from anywhere
DVD Topics
One of the areas Ann had added material since she first started teaching this course is to show trainers, who compete in dog sports, how to stretch their dogs before training and competition. If more competitors would take the time to learn how to stretch their dogs, they would have fewer injuries.
And finally, in Ann’s seminars, she sets up stations that the puppies go through to work on environmental skills. We have included each of these stations in the DVD showing various students and puppies working.
The stations are:
In closing, this is a DVD that every level of dog trainer can learn from. We were so pleased when Ann agreed to do training videos and courses with Leerburg. We know this is some of the best training information out there and our customers will agree when they see Ann’s training system.
I do not teach agility, however, Ann's DVD is for everyone who trains dogs. Her presentation is professional, useful, and gives you lots of ideas on training other than agility. I rate her a five star and hope she comes out with another tape soon. I'll be first in line to order it. Thanks Ann for all the information.
