This class will introduce the handler and dog to the teeter and to weaves. It will also include a review of agility skills that can double as fitness skills (ex: targets, circles, figure 8s) for the agility athlete. We will teach you how to train a dog for these skills (taking notes or videoing the classes will help you in the future). Your dog will not master the teeter and weaves during the 6 week class, but will have a great foundation that you can build upon.
Handlers should bring a bowl that their dog can put both feet on, 2 boards (2x6” with non-skid surface, cato boards, etc) and plenty of treats. Unstable footing will be available for use during class.
Dogs will need to be crated in the hallway of the building or in vehicles. Always bring twice as many treats as you think you'll need!
This class will last for 1.5 hours each week.
Pre-requisites: Agility Foundations or approval of the instructor.
Waitlist: The waitlist is in case a place opens in this class. It does not carry over to future classes.
Instructor: Kristina Gilbert
Assistant: Amy Hearing
The mission of GCOC is to teach the handler successful methods of training which will result in a lifelong bond with their dog. Our goal is to provide a safe environment that will encourage this learning process. GCOC does reserve the right to excuse any dog who is disruptive or whose learning threshold has been exceeded.
GCOC reserves the right to cancel or reschedule classes.
The Greater Columbia Obedience Club will refund fees paid for a class, minus a $15 administration fee, if cancellation occurs at least five days prior to the first day of class. If cancellation is requested after that period, but the available slot can be filled from the class wait list, the payment minus the $15 administration fee, will be refunded. No refund will be paid if the slot cannot be filled, or the class begins. GCOC recognizes that extenuating circumstances may occur. In this event, an application may be made to the Training Director for a review of the situation. Such occurrences as a bitch in heat, death in the family, illness of canine or trainer will be considered.
