Beginning Agility 1
7 weeks - class sizes limited to 8 students. New to agility? Start here. For the beginning agility puppy or dog. Age 3 months and older. Introduction to agility where dog and handler will learn to work together as a team and lay the groundwork for a good working relationship with the dog learning to focus attention and take direction from handler. Class covers foundation skills, attention and focus games, targeting, stays, recalls, and basic agility turns using positive reinforcement. Dogs will be slowly introduced to various scaled down agility obstacles. Foundation and flat-work exercises to practice at home will be provided. If the instructor finds that your dog needs to have more self-control, the instructor may request that you take some manners or obedience classes and continue this class the next session.
