9:00am Sunday, Masters Agility w/Anne – Makeup Class

December 6, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

This is one more class of this session due to the day that was too windy to have classes. So our final class of this current session will be held on Sunday, December 6th. 

9:00am Master Agility Skills:

This class is for dogs competing at the Master/Excellent level in trials, or competently working at that skill level.  We will work sequences designed to teach and maintain criteria on contact obstacles and weaves, improve and build on handling skills, and prepare for some of the challenges you might see at a weekend agility trial. Dogs need to have both on and off-side weaves, a solid contact performance, able to perform the other obstacles easily: tunnels, tire, spread jumps and table. The handler and dog team are able to do front and rear crosses in agility sequences, and the dog is able to accurately work at a distance. Plan on rewarding your dog frequently during the sequences! We may even work on some of the games classes that you see at agility trials.

Please arrive for this class at 8:15am. You have 15 minutes to set up your area for your dog, and then all hands are needed to start setting up equipment no later than 8:30am, no exceptions. Thank you for your cooperation. Please be ready to start walking exercises before 9:00am so we can maximize your working time. Thank you!
