Thanks for a great beginner class. I feel like Beau and I moved ahead through relationship building that could have taken many more months without the focus you lent to my work with him.
I contacted a number of trainers for "interviews", and not only were you the first to call back; you offered helpful information and a confidence boost from that first call. I was nervous about how Beau's "issues" would play out in a class and felt like he already had many of the "basics". However, your suggestion we start at step one was right on. He is a more confident dog, looks to me more often for direction, and thus is more calm in new situations. I love working with him and appreciate that what he and I learned in class gives a great foundation to build on. I am looking forward to the "next step" classes next month; and agility in the spring.
Teaching people physical things and sequences can be challenging. You do it in such a way that I never saw anyone feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed. I have worked with other dogs and read tons of books, but working with your feedback was fun, and effective. Finally, you managed to be present for everyone and knew the characteristics of their dogs. When someone was having an issue you somehow managed to keep teaching the class while coaching the handler. I did not expect so much personal attention and very much appreciated it.
Thanks again for a great class.

Foundations for Agility
Foundations are the building blocks for agility. You and your dog will get familiar with attention work, motivational games, how the dog’s body moves by doing various exercises "on the flat", and getting introduced to agility obstacles.
Pre-Novice
Dogs and handlers are familiar with all of the equipment except the weave poles and teeter. In Pre-novice we start to slowly raise-up contact equipment and proof performance by adding the handling component and mini sequences. In addition, we start to work really hard on training the teeter and weave poles.
Novice Competition
The dogs and handlers are familiar with all pieces of equipment and can successfully navigate 6 weave poles and the teeter. In this class we do drilling of frequently seen sequences such as serpentines, pinwheels, threadles, and 270’s. In addition, we will analyze and run short courses. The handler component becomes the driving force in Nov comp. By this time your dog has a strong foundation and it’s your turn to think about how your body moves!
Advanced Competition
Your dog must be able to navigate 12 weave poles on both sides. You should have independent obstacle performance on all equipment (dog must be fluent on all obstacles). You will be running various courses and getting individual feedback regarding your personal challenges.
