Back to Basics Agility
7 weeks - class sizes limited to 6 students.
Feel like you and your dog don't always work together as a team? Want to learn how to better communicate with your dog? This class focuses on the very foundations of dog agility and takes you back to the basics. The goal is to achieve a better connection between the dog and handler, while improving the dogs focus and commitment on the course. This is a good course for both more experienced handlers who may need to go “back to basics” to ie. improve or find a balance between dog’s handler/ obstacle focus, as well as more inexperienced handlers wanting to improve their dog’s independence on the obstacles and learn how to effectively communicate with their dog. Classes will include running short sequences and practicing the use of different handling tools, such as ones body, movement and position. Understanding of all equipment is not required, but it also won’t be a goal of this class.
Prerequisite: Dogs must be ready to run short (4-6 obstacle) sequences.
