AGILITY CLASSES
|
| Date: |
Starts: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 5:30 PM
Meet: 8 Sessions
Length: 1 hour
|
| Location: | Greta's Gym, Mountain Iron, MN |
| Description: |
This class is for dogs at least 12 weeks old (or for any dog that has not started any agility training). It will also be necessary for any dog/handler team wishing to go on to any of the other Agility classes at Greta’s Gym to complete this class or “test out” of this class in order to move on. Every dog/handler team must successfully acquire the skills taught in this class to move on.
The class will include some basic obedience skills that we feel are required to be successful on an agility course. This class is designed to aid you and your new agility teammate to build a strong working relationship! We will work on creating a strong play drive. You and your dog will be exposed to “operant conditioning”. To help aid your dog on focus training, we will play “crate games”. We will also introduce your dog to end contacts and agility groundwork.
