Beginning Agility
Continuing Class:
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 7:30 pm. (Ends Feb. 28. No class on Feb. 7th)
This is the Level II class after Intro to Agility. In Beginning Agility, handling skills and basic control will be improved.
Students learn to give timely commands, to provide consistent
and smooth body cues, and to develop teamwork with their dogs.
Handlers
also develop the ability to switch smoothly from handling their
dogs off one side to handling off the other in the middle of
a sequence using techniques such as the front and rear cross.
Other handling maneuvers will be taught such as the 180, 270,
and serpentine. All of the equipment will be practiced as the
appropriate height, including A-frame, teeter, and dogwalk,
and contact equipment safety and behavior will be emphasized.
The dog and handler teams will continue to improve their skills
and will become more proficient at simple combinations of obstacles.
Sequencing is performed off lead, therefore, your dog also must
be able to sit, stay, down, and come on command, off lead. (Prerequisite-
Intro to Agility, similar course, or instructor’s discretion.)
