Puppy HeadStart Agility I & II
Puppy Headstart One and then Two are great places to start your puppy learning the building blocks of agility. These classes are for anyone who wants a puppy with self-control, enthusiasm, drive and confidence. You will create a great working relationship with your puppy, and both of you will have a great time learning. Geared for fun and the fundamentals of agility, this class will give your puppy a super headstart on any future training.
The class works on puppy-handler focus, recalls and sends, puppy self-control, play-tug and clicker training. We also spend time on rules for training, sit stays, release word, leave it and agility heeling.
Your puppy gains experience with the bottom board, balance board, body awareness, tunnels and other baby-agility equipment. Your puppy also learns the value of an upright and set-point jumping with puppy speed bumps.
