Control for Agility |

Course Description |
||||||||||||
|
Without a doubt, the hardest part of doing agility is keeping your excited, zooming dog in control. If you don’t, you don’t have a dog, and you don’t qualify. Even if you’re not competing, but doing agility just for fun, you need a dog who pays attention instead of deciding to run off and sniff or do some "zoomies." Whether you have experienced this frustration first-hand, you want to try agility, or if you KNOW you want to do agility with your dog, this class is a MUST! We play lots of games with our dogs to teach them that we humans are SO much fun, that it’s only WITH us that they get to do the agility obstacles. We work on recalls, wait, focus, motivation, and the value of tugging/play, as well as work on individual pieces of equipment. Once you’ve learned all of these skills, WATCH OUT, agility world!! |

CONTACTS & WEAVES
|
||||||||||||
Two of the hardest things to learn in agility are the weavepoles and the contact equipment -- A-frame, teeter and dog walk. This course lets you focus on these two difficult areas to get better results. |

PUPPY AGILITY
|
||||||||||||
This course is perfect for folks who have a puppy under six months of age who has completed a puppy manners class and want to embark on the fun journey of training for agility. It’s a six-week class which introduces, in a fun and safe manner, all of the non-impact obstacles (tunnel, chute, buja board, pause table, A-frame and dog walk). It also teaches pups concepts like focus on owner, wait, and other skills necessary for doing sequences. If you’re not sure what all these things are, but like the idea of agility for your pup, you better come to class! |
