Intro to Agility Fun II
Intro to Agility Fun II
Prerequisites: Intro to Agility I or equivalent skills
Length: 6 one-hour class sessions
Location: The Gym
This class is best suited for: teams who have taken Intro I, who have built value for jumps and practiced with the basic (but lower) equipment. If you have conquered the teeter at its lowest level and are ready for more teeter height, you are ready for Novice/Intermediate Agility.
Description: The second level of our Introduction to Agility is still about FUN and building a Team. Here, you progress on all the obstacles, A-Frame, teeter, table, dog walk, and you will begin weaves training. You learn more about guiding your dog through sequences of equipment, building confidence and more distance from your dog. Your skills as a handler will improve and when they do, your dog notices! They will stay more focused. Talk about Positive Reinforcement for the handler!! Your dog will progress to taller equipment and you will practice “handler moves” that communicate directions to your teammate as you work through more complex courses.
And guess what? The fun of sharing training time on the “doggy playground” of agility still happens even if your “run” is actually a slow jog! You don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy this game. Your dog just wants to play with you! Come join the FUN and exercise that pup!
