You and your dog will learn agility from the ground up! Agility is a fun game and it’s our job to make learning fun for our dogs. You, as the handler will learn to communicate using body language; the dogs already understand it!
Topics include: boundary / crate games, offering behaviors, introduction to obstacles, building drive for food and toys, tunnel work, reward placement strategies, lead change skills, foundations for stopped contacts, handling skills (Front, Rear and Blind cross basics, and many more …) plus lots of games to build your relationship and teamwork!!!
What to bring to class:
- Flat collar (no ‘training’ or choke collars) or harness. head halters are fine (halti, gentle leader)
- regular leash (no flexi-leashes)
- Crate or raised dog bed
- plenty of yummy (soft) treats (nothing that crumbles)
- Your dog’s favorite toys
- Water bowl & water for your dog
- Pen & paper to take notes
