Weave Pole Workouts
This class is for dogs that are struggling to master the weave poles or need to improve speed, distance and independence from the handler.
A-Frame Antics
Having trouble sticking the landing in 2-on 2-off or getting that big dog to hit the yellow with a moving A-frame contact performance? Then this class is just for you.
Gymnastic Jumping
Does your dog knock bars or struggle to jump its competition height? Do you have to lead your dog to every jump? We'll use jump chutes, boxes and other exercises to improve your dog's jumping skills.
The Trouble with Teeters
Geeky Star Trek name aside, many dogs need a little extra time and practice to perform the teeter safely, quickly and legally. The teeter/table method will be used to boost speed, independence and confidence on this tricky obstacle.
