Agility Skills
Agility Skills 1
This will be a 2-part class where you will learn the handling system taught at Y2K9s, with an emphasis on practicing this system over one and two-jump sequences. You will also learn contact and weave-pole training from the ground up. The class will focus on transferring target behavior to contact equipment and back-chaining each contact obstacle. Weave poles are taught using channels and/or 2x2 methods.
Prerequisites: Agility Foundations 1 or comparable class. Dogs must be old enough to start jumping at their full height.

Contacts & Weaves Skills
Weaves:
Weave skills will be broken down into 2 categories - entries (where we train the dog how to find the correct entry from different approaches) and completing the weaves (where we train the dog to continue to weave with handler motion and distractions). Teams will be introduced to several weaves training methods; 2×2 weaves, channels and guide wires.
Contacts:
This class will introduce travel plank work, 2 on/2 off end behavior, review of teeter bang game, contact release work, correct approach and exit of contact obstacles to and from other obstacles, independent contact performance, contact performance (running, 2o/2o, 4-on, etc) and the advantages/disadvantages of each, how to choose the right method for
your dog, all while separating the contact performance from navigating the contact obstacle.
