Whose bright idea was it to put this thing on my head?

02/20/2024

I wanted to take a few moments to let you know about some class openings I still have for the next session of classes…..

1: Agility Beginner 1 -- Sunday @ 11:45A. This is our first level agility class. In this class we will work on handlers learning to shape (instead of luring) behaviors, hand targeting, nose and foot targeting, hind-end awareness, TUNNELS!!, walking on a narrow plank, and much more.

2: AKC Canine Good Citizen Prep – Sunday @ 1:30p. This is our “advanced” manners class. In this class we utilize fun games to work on loose leash walking, sits, stays, come, polite greetings, etc. This class will prepare you for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.

3: AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy – Sunday @ 3p. This is one of my favorite classes and why wouldn’t it be….I get to play with puppies!!!! It’s not however all fun and games, we will cover topics such as potty training, sit, stay, down, walking on a leash (as opposed to the all to familiar puppy “alligator roll”), sitting while being pet, etc. Each week there is also puppy socialization time for the pups to play with each other. At the end of the session, I can administer the AKC STAR Puppy test for you and your pup to earn a certificate and medal from AKC.

4: Agility Novice Handling – Monday @ 2:15p or Wednesday @ 5p. This class focuses on building the relationship and teamwork between handler and dog by practicing longer sequences on all obstacles besides weaves. We will focus on handling techniques such as front cross, blind cross, rear cross as well as simple “backside” jumps.

5: Agility Masters Coursework – Wednesday @ 7:45p. This is a coursework class where I will work with each team to discuss the best strategy for the team to successfully navigate the challenges typically seen on a full masters (or occasionally international) level course.

6: Agility Beginner 3 – Thursday @ 8p. In this class, I work with each team to continue to increase their confidence on individual obstacles as well as beginning to sequence multiple obstacles in a row. Elements of handling are introduced and discussed.

7: Agility Foundation Distance Skills – Thursday @ 11a. In our Foundation Distance class, we work with each individual team to increase their lateral and vertical distance from obstacles. We will teach you the basics of distance handling with simple sequences and games to get your dogs comfortable working away from you.

If you have questions about any of these questions, please feel free to contact me at this email address. If you are interested in registering for these classes, please follow the following links.
