Agility Session 4 notes

Our main focus of session 4 is starting to work on our jump handling strategies and this is the focus we will keep building on as we begin the next series of classes in November. So if you want to join in then, spend sometime working on the exercises in the past 4 classes. In our agility classes we will continue to focus on jump handling drills that you can do in small spaces, and I will add in some work on your own lessons for those of you that have access to bigger training areas. So weave poles & plank work we won’t spend a lot of time in class on, but I will keep providing work on your own instruction.

Jumping Drills from lesson 4

Two Jumps

Adding a jump! We back chain by starting with the last jump, then once they are easily going over the second jump we put them in front of the first jump and we go to the spot where we were sending over the second jump from.

Serpentine Foundations

Teaching our dogs to come to us and slice across the jump, coming back to us.

Wrap

Teaching our dogs to jump and turn 180 to head back in the direction they came from

Pulls

Teaching our dogs to come past a jump and take the jump from the backside

Figure 8s

Using one or two jumps to teach our dogs to jump and wrap back tightly
