Pre-Agility Prep
with Anna Burbank -
The objective of the class is to familiarize
the dog with a number of agility obstacles.
We will work on approaches from various angles,
with the handler in different positions relative
to the dog, from a distance, etc. Shaping
will be our primary tool for this. We will
also work on targeting and some elementary
handling exercises. We start small (jumps
low, short tunnels) until the dogs gain confidence.
This foundation is essential prior to linking
obstacles together in a sequence.
Beginner Agility
with Anna Burbank - This class builds
on the skills learned in agility prep and
starts to introduce multiple obstacles linked
together in a sequence. We will continue to
work on individual obstacles, building speed
and accuracy. Handler skills such as front
and rear crosses will be introduced. "Contact" skills
will be emphasized.
Shadow's Specialties - 6 week course,
all classes are with the dogs
This class is named after my border collie Shadow.
Because he is a recovering aggressive dog, he
has had to be better trained than my "normal" dogs.
This class will include more advanced behaviors
such as ignoring and coming away from dropped
food or thrown toys, drop on recall, drop while
running away from you, whistle training and
much more.
Tricks and More - 6 week course, all classes
are with the dogs.
Learn how to free
shape tricks you only dreamed about training!
Roll over and cover with a blanket, bow,
wipe your feet, trim your own nails (!!!),
close doors, go to bed, carry trick or treat
basket to door, put toys away, turn on lights
(and turn them off), and much more! Some
of these are useful, some just fun.
Tactile
and Tricks -
6 week course, all classes
are with the dogs
This class will help save your dog from having
to be either put under anesthesia or from having
12 football players having to wrestle your dog
to the ground, for something as simple as grooming
or toe nail clipping. I will show you how to “free
shape” behaviors and a list of tricks
will be handed out on the first week. All tricks
are marked with a certain number of points.
At the last class, you will get to strut your
stuff, earn points and win a $10.00 gift certificate.
If possible, we will clip nails too! (50 bonus
points if we can do it!)
