Description: Advanced Beginning Agility is a continuation of Beginning Agility and continues development with each obstacle. Dogs will begin to work off-leash. During this class we will work on moving to full height for some equipment and adding more sequencing and handling skills. Many dogs benefit from taking Advanced Beginning Agility more than once as they need more time to become comfortable with the equipment at full height.
Core skills: By the end of the 7-week course, the dog should have these core skills:
- A-Frame at 75% of full height
- Teeter at lower height
- Channel weave poles with offset of 2 spaces and guide wires
- Introduction to handling skills (front cross and rear cross)
- Sequence of up to 5 obstacles
- Jumps continue to be set at lower height
- Continuation of ground work exercises learned in Beginning Agility
Prerequisites:
- Mastery of core skills of Beginning Agility
- Age 9 months or older
- Basic obedience skills - come (recall), sit, down, stay (can be on leash)
- Friendly around other dogs
Cost: $85.00 non-members, $63.75 members
