Course Details
In agility, courses rarely require the same speed from start to finish. The goal is for dogs to learn how to power through, fast flowing lines and then transition seamlessly into more technical sequences without losing speed or accurancy.
In this class we will work on skills that help dogs confidently shift gears between extension and collection. Through a variety of exercises and short sequences, you and your dog will develop a better understanding of commitment, and efficient turning skills, while still prioritizing speed!
This class is designed to improve your dog's understanding while helping you create smoother, more efficient transitions during course work. So when you go from speed lines to technical transitions, you have the ability to get both extension and collection "on demand". Perfect for teams looking to gain more control, without sacrificing speed!
If you have a lower drive dog, this is great to help build speed and if you have a high drive dogs, it will give you the tools to handle the fast transitions.
Press the gas, dogs GOES, tap the brake, the dog responds! That is the goal!
