Training Directionals Made Easy - Turns To Die For!

Want to add verbal turn cues to your agility tool kit but unsure where to start? Imagine finding yourself out of position on course and saving the run on a great verbal directional. How thrilling would that be! From Flatwork Foundations to Tunnel/Jump Application Teaching independent directional turn cues to your dog seems simple enough. However, if you want confident and independent verbal tight and loose turns on course, then your dog needs to have a complete and full understanding of the verbal cues independent of where you may be. In-depth video demonstrations supported with written lessons will guide you through each stage of learning in this 6 week foundation course. Starting with flatwork foundations and progressing through to jump/tunnel application, each lesson ensures you have mastered a concept before moving to the next stage.  At the end of this course your dog will have developed a strong foundational understanding of verbal turn cues ready for further proofing in sequencing before using in course-work. 6 week course of step by step lessons Written lessons supported by in-depth video demonstration Minimal equipment required - 3-5 wing jumps and a tunnel would be ideal Simple set-up of exercises Foundation lessons can all be taught indoors or in your back yard 3-5 minutes of training per day is all that is required

Mastering the Basics: A Beginner's Guide to Foundation Grids

To be successful in the sport of agility, it is essential that your dog develops good jumping skills. Some dogs are natural and require very little education, others require more. As a dog ages, develops and matures, his needs will change. If you aren't doing jump grids your dog is missing out on these 5 key elements for successful jumping: 1. Core Strength & Muscle Development = well developed rear end muscles will result in more power from your dog, especially when jumping at full height. 2. Understanding & Confidence of Jumping Mechanics = being able to problem solve on the job when we are late with our cues and/or in our dogs' path obscuring his sight of the obstacle. 3. Weight-Shift = control of the body essential for collection not only in jumping but for agility skills such as tight turns, weave entries and stopped contacts. 4. Forward Focus = teaching our dogs to look ahead and towards the obstacle rather than at you. 5. Balance & Precision with Speed = being able to land centered in the gap between each jump and take off from the same spot he landed keeping his body under control. In this four-week course we learn four different foundation jumping grids and exercises. The course introduces you to Set Point, Adjustable Stride Grid, Bend Grid and the Progressive Grid. Your dog will improve his forward focus and handler independence, whilst learning to coordinate his footwork with confidence and precision especially when speed is added. These are all the elements essential to future jumping success.
