Intro to Contacts

Introduce your dog to the exciting world of contact obstacles with this focused agility class! Designed for beginners or those new to the teeter-totter and A-frame, this class emphasizes building your dog’s confidence, accuracy, and understanding of these key obstacles. We’ll teach the 2-on/2-off stopped contact position to ensure safe, consistent performance and work on developing steady, controlled movements. Through positive reinforcement and gradual progressions, your dog will gain the skills needed to approach the teeter and A-frame with confidence and precision. Perfect for teams ready to master these essential agility elements!

• Dog must have completed Intro to Agility or equivalent (with instructor permission)

• Dog should be at least 9 months in age.

• Dogs should know sit, be able to walk well on leash, and be comfortable around other dogs. 

• Dogs must not be aggressive towards humans. 

• I highly recommend that the dog is either food or toy motivated.

During class, you will need a 4 to 6 foot long fabric or leather leash and a flat collar or martingale collar to use when working.  You will also need a small flat target (such as a coaster or tupperware lid) to use for food targeting exercises.  

​

You will be provided with a 6' training plank to use for the duration of class so you can practice the 2 on/2 off position at home.  This plank must be returned by Week 6 of class.
