You can now join November class, starting on November 19! This class can be done in small spaces, with no equipment, and is appropriate for dogs of all ages, for conditioning active performance dogs, and for keeping senior dogs happy and fit. - It's never too young or too old to learn! I always make sure to add enough challenges also for adult dogs who know many tricks already, with emphasis on verbal discrimination and conditioning. So yes, there are some extras to the normal Puppy Class program!

This class promotes the development of physical and mental skills, helps puppies to learn how to learn, how to use their mind and bodies, and builds great body awareness, balance, and strength. It's not only beneficial for puppies, but also for active agility dogs or retired dogs to keep them busy, fit, and young.

We will start with the first to-do list on November 19, but you can register and then enter the classroom  already now, take a look around the classroom, post your introduction, and start with pre-homework 🙂

Puppy Diary video is a must-watch before the class, so if you don't have it yet, choose the first option, and you will get a link to a download after payment. If you have it already, choose the 2nd option. The 3rd option is for auditors, repeaters (who took this class with the same dog before), and those registering 2 dogs in the same class.

Elizabeth and Ida, the Vizsla, from USA! They sure are a great team and lots of fun to follow also in Fundations class!

You can still join us in Foundations and Running Contacts classes! Next Puppy Class starts on November 12, with registration opening at the end of October.

September Running Contacts class, starting on September 3, is now open for registration! Most work is done with no equipment and just a mat: working on turns, soft turns, straight exits, and various handling before any DW work, so you don't need much room to start off.

Here are some graduation videos of dogs from the previous classes. I chose different sizes and only those who started from zero, so you can see how far  they got in less than 4 months:

The class is appropriate for total beginners (from 7 months old on), retrains from 2on2off and all who have running contacts already (even if not trained with a mat), but want to work on various exits or any other aspects of RC - all the feedback is completely individual, so all levels are welcome. I will also publish all the lessons right at the start of the class, so you can continue from wherever you currently are.

Minimum age for this class is 7 months, and the minimum equipment is now just the DVD + a mat - like a towel or a doormat - and later on, access to a dog-walk, ideally one that can be lowered.

This class is 12 weeks long (+2 weeks of a catch up break in between) and starts on September 3, but you can register already now and then enter the classroom HERE.

Please note that only those who took this class with the SAME dog before qualify as repeaters! Please make sure your are registered and logged in before you proceed to paying with paypal - this will ensure you will get your correct access automatically.

You can now join Foundations class that is starting on August 20!

The class follows Foundations Revisited DVD. This is why the format has been changed from the original Foundations Fun class program:

1. 1. Ta taught me the importance of pre-obstacle work, so working on really very basic ground skills that make all the rest go way more smoothly... - so lesson 1 is all away from obstacles now.

1. 1. I couldn't stand people redoing sequences over&over again even when I kept saying not to do it... So now sequences are only in lesson 6, the rest are various exercises with lots of variations to make sure people are training, not pattering their dogs.

1. 1. My tunnels are sooo terribly bagged in the old DVD!!! So I had to make a new one with properly bagged tunnels! 🙂

What is different is the order, the emphasis, and the exercises, and I also added some new topics, so the transition to Xtreme Foundations should be super smooth - this class certainly doesn't lack in providing MANY challenges. And definitely covers many topics!

This class is appropriate for all levels, from total beginners from 7 months on - and also for experienced agility dogs - I promise to keep everybody challenged!!! All feedback is completely individual.

Minimum equipment needed: 2 tunnels, 4 jumps, and if you want to work on see-saw and weaves as well: see-saw and stick to the ground and/or channel weaves (ideally both!). + Foundations Revisited DVD, of course.

Topics covered: play, fetching, static toys, stays, restrains, warm ups and cool downs, tight turns, sends, pushes, threadles and serpentines, come to hand, verbal discrimination, obstacle discrimination, tunnel sends, traps and turns (hard and soft turns), extension and collection, different crosses and handling, see-saw, weaves, tire, long, double and wall jump, how to choose sequences and adjust them to your dog, how to handle mistakes and more.

We'll be starting with the first homework on August 20, but you can register and enter the classroom already now.

Some graduation video examples:

Video length limitation per lesson is 10 minutes per lesson (in total, that means 60 min in 12 weeks of the class).

The class has 6 lessons, one every 2 weeks = 12 weeks of feedback (+ 2 weeks of a catch-up break in between).

Repeaters price is for those who took Foundation before with the SAME dog.  Please make sure your are registered and logged in before you proceed to paying with paypal - this will ensure you will get your correct access automatically.

Here we go again! Since it works so well that all the enthusiastic RC students can continue working on their RC without waiting for the next class, we are continuing with "Repeaters only" RC class - the next one will start on June 9, right after the February class closes. I run this class after every "normal" RC class (typically running twice a year) for continued feedback and support throughout the process.

Repeaters-Only RC class will start on June 9 and run for 12 weeks (no catch-up break), until August 31, so there is no gap before the next "normal" RC class that starts on September 3rd. 

The only requirement for this class is that you took my RC class before (not necessarily the last class) and have access to all the lessons there. There are two different prices, based on whether you took the class with the same or another dog. There is no additional material in this class, its purpose is solely to offer continued feedback and support throughout the whole process.
