Agility Foundations Class
Ready to jump start your next agility dog? This skills-based class is designed to teach or fine tune the critical foundation skills needed for agility. We will focus on reinforcer skills (using toys and/or food), important tricks for training agility behaviors, and introduce handling mechanics and agility obstacles. Although this class is targeted for dogs that haven’t started competing yet, it can also be taken by dogs of any experience level who are serious about competing in agility and need some fine tuning. Each week we will progress each skill based on the team’s goals.
Class Goals:
Some of the things we will be focusing on include:- Building Toy Drive- Waiting Your Turn- Working Around Distractions- End of Run Routines- Jump (low height) & Tunnel Drills – Targeting/Mat Work for Contact Behaviors
Pre-Class requirements:
- Dogs must not have aggression issues with well-mannered dogs.
- Puppies are eligible to take this class because we will adjust the height / difficulty of the obstacles / exercises so they are age-appropriate.
- Dogs should be of a healthy weight and without health problems.
- No shock collars, e-collars, prong collars or choke chains allowed in class.
- Pre-registration with pre-payment is required.
