This course focuses on body awareness, impulse control, settling, playing, working through distractions, and overall engagement with you. These skills not only prepare for your dog for sports - they also improve your working relationship with your dog in day to day life. The sports class will focus on agility, but also touch on rally obedience and scent detection. This class will teach your dog confidence, safety, and body awareness on equipment such as cones, wobble boards, cavetti, tunnels, and planks. This course will introduce handlers to several crosses such as post turn, front cross and blind cross. All exercises will be adapted to the dogs age and fitness - no high impact exercises.

This course prepares your dog for Agility I by introducing them to to more complex exercises, and working through the addition of speed, distance, and distractions. Jump work will be introduced, along with how and when to increase jump heights. As the dogs begin to love equipment, self-regulation/impulse control will again become a factor to work through. This course will begin to chain multiple small objects together, increasing your dogs ability to stay connected in motion. In addition, it will expand on how to use front, rear, and post turns to indicate directions and turns, as well as introducing handlers to rear crosses. All exercises will be adapted to the dogs age and fitness - very little high impact exercises.
