Early Fall 2008 - Agility Classes
Old IGA Store Building, Purcellville VA
(Directions) ** NEW LOCATION**

Mondays beginning August 11th - 7 to 8 PM

Foundation For Agility
Ann Hereford

This is a Groundwork Focus class. It is available to those new to Agility and also to those currently competing at any level -- even upper levels. Groundwork is made up of skills necessary for agility including:

  • improved impulse control (wait, stay, come to hand, agility recalls)
  • targeting and how to use it (both paw and nose touches)
  • building drive through games
  • encouraging motivation through games
  • handling skills necessary between obstacles (Groundwork)
  • handler vs obstacle focus training
  • warm-up & stretching exercises
  • tricks to stretch the dog's learning
  • clicker training for those using it (introduction to those new to clicker training)

Skills will be linked together into "sequences" but specific agility equipment will not be used. We encourage the dog to focus on the handler.
