Love agility, but can’t catch your breath at the end of your run? Have you ever felt like you are having to take your dog to every obstacle while others can send from further away? Do you want to increase your handling skills while elevating your dog’s performance in Agility? Enter Agility Skills & Drills! This is a class for students currently enrolled in agility classes at Urban Pooch. Instead of working through coursework like our typical agility classes, we will work through foundation skills and drills designed to increase our dog’s distance and independence on a variety of obstacles. We will also be introducing international handling skills that can be added to enhance your coursework performance. Some topics covered include: threadles, backsides, distance on jumps, obstacle discrimination, tunnels on a verbal only, passbys, marker systems clarity, motivation, speed building, and more!
Dogs must be 6 months or older to participate in this workshop. Completion of a beginner agiltiy class or similar agility experience is also required.
