What is Foundation Agility?
Foundation Agility is where we teach you the foundation work and is designed to make the introduction to the sport as enjoyable and safe as possible. You don't have to plan to compete to enjoy agility training with your dog. You’ll start by teaching your dog the basic groundwork such as target training, start-line stays, impulse control, foundation jumping, flat work, focused attention, and developing a reliable recall. Wobble boards, plank work, crate games, and other fun exercises will also be introduced.
