Agility Readiness Evaluation July 10 – Session 2
- At least 20 plus small and very yummy treats.
- Your dog wearing a plain collar and/or harness.
- 4’- 6’ leash made of leather, rope or nylon. Please do not bring a retractable leash or a chain leash.
This class gives you and your dog the very best start in this fun sport. We will introduce your dog to the game of agility and provide methods to begin the process of teaching your dog a reliable contact behavior, independent weave pole behavior, beginning handling skills, tunnels, foundation for jumping and much more!
Prerequisite: Successful completion of our Agility Evaluation or recommendation of the instructor.
This class will focus on learning progressively more complex handling skills, working dogs through sequences of 7 to 10 obstacles using jumps and tunnels only.
Dogs are masters in reading our body language, and they learn very quickly. If we repeat an exercise many times, they learn to anticipate what happens next. In this “Either – Or” workshop, you will learn to balance your training to strengthen your dog’s understanding of your handling and improve your execution of the techniques in short sequences that show your dog how small differences can make a big impact. Appropriate for dogs sequencing at least 8-10 obstacles. Obstacles used are jumps and tunnels. Young dogs are welcome.
This class will focus on the independent execution of the weave poles. Class is appropriate for those just starting out on weaves, as well as those working to increase skills and independence.
This class will be broken down into small groups of teams that are working at approximately the same level. Each small group will receive about an hour of class time and will not be required to stay for the remaining time.
If you would prefer to work with someone specific, please contact us.
