Commitment to obstacles/lines

Commitment Issues? Your dog, not you☺!
Running agility is not as easy as people think and learning to trust your training is vital to success! Today’s courses require the ability to send your dog to an obstacle and move to the next one. This, however, is not a natural behavior for our dogs, so we must work hard to train this skill! This seminar will focus on jumps and tunnel commitment with competing handler motion!

Fundamentals of Agility

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!  The methods used in this class provide ways for you to work on many skills at home with minimal space and equipment.

Either/Or

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.

Courses may be broken down and/or run in their entirety. You do not need to complete the entire course during your turn.  Students will be given equal time on the floor and may work at their own pace.  Dogs must be proficient on all equipment and able to handle longer sequences and coursework.
