The Intermediate Agility Course follows the
Beginners class and teaches you and your dog to
negotiate longer sequences and to be able to run a
little course at the end of the course.
You will learn how to turn with your dog, how and when to change the sides as well as becoming more aware of how your body movements influence your dogs movement.
The dogs will learn to work ahead to a target (helping him to run ahead confidently) as well as to negotiate the contact elements off the lead. These contacts will then be practiced with more and more speed but still ensuring correct stopping or touching the contact for maximum control.
We will also work on basic weave entrances to enable the dog to take the weave within a sequence.
Again we work the dogs on both sides as well as from ahead and behind. Also we improve the stays, increase the distractions and distances which will become more important the faster your dog gets.
