One of the many useful skills clients develop in Level 2 is getting their dogs to stay on their MAT in different environments and with distractions.
Mat work has many real life practical applications. Nothing is more anoying than a dog begging at the table when your eating or being under your feet while your cooking in the kitchen.
Agility is so much fun for dawgs & their owners ๐
