Foundation for Agility Class

Familiarize your dog with training techniques that will help in his agility career – or in whatever you do! Present physical and mental challenges to help him gain confidence and physical awareness, as well as greater competence with obedience skills. Some of the activities we work on in this class are targeting, motivated stays (and releases), circle work, and speedy recalls.

This class is really not about the agility equipment, but rather about your relationship with your dog and his willingness and ability to respond to your physical and verbal cues. We work with a ladder, cones, perches, planks, a Buja board, jumps at very low heights, hoops and tunnels – and one class with an intro to the “big” contact equipment (at modified heights). There’s plenty of time for equipment – let’s learn solid stays, front crosses and lightning fast recalls!

Payment for Classes

Class duration is 7 weeks, one hour each week. Puppy kindergarten or other basic obedience class is a must to prepare for this class. Clicker training is used.

The Foundation class is held at Mountain View Dog Training in Amissville.
