Instructor: Shane McConnell

Whether you’re looking to build a better bond with your dog or dreaming of the competition ring, this Agility Fundamentals course is the perfect starting line. This class focuses on building a rock-solid foundation through groundwork, equipment confidence, and the "language of handling."

In this beginner-friendly program, we focus on proper performance, safety, and the essential communication skills needed to work as a seamless team. 

What We’ll Cover

Ladder Walk (Footwork) Figure Eights Tunnels (Straight & Curved)
Paws Up & Accordion Down Tandem Turns Tire (Set at no height)
Plank Walk Positions Flip Turns & Wrap and Run Hoops & Directionals
Incline (Klimb/Propel) Back (Look back/Turn back) Basic Straight Grids
Spin & Twist Laterals & Focus Forward Pinwheel (Peace Sign 3/4)
Backing Up In/Out Commands Hit It Board
Rear End Turns Recall to Hand (Touch) Barrel Drills
Hoop Send to Target Incline Plank (Go/Turn)  

We use Flat and Circle work to ensure your dog understands your body language before adding speed.

Graduation Test: The course concludes with Speedway Games! All graduates receive a discount coupon to enter their first official Speedway event.

Who Is This For?
The Handler: No previous experience required! We teach you where to put your feet and how to use your body to "steer" your dog.

The Dog: Open to all breeds. Dogs should have a basic understanding of "Sit" and "Stay" and be comfortable working around other dogs on leash.

Note: For the safety of growing joints, all jumping work and the tire obstacle are kept at "no height" or low impact during this fundamental phase.
