This is a class to perfect the foundation skills that occur in agility, working in an indoor setting.  For dogs and handlers that have some Agility experience and are looking to build a strong handling foundation.  This class will cover fundamental handling skills in a smaller classroom setting and will prepare you to take on the larger Agility course! 

In this course we will cover:

  • Reverse retrieve  

  • Cone and wing wrapping 

  • Tunnel skills  

  • Weave skills 

  • Jump skills 

  • 2o2o Contact Skills

Handlers will eventually need to buy an orange cone to practice at home!  We highly recommend this one at Lowes.
