Foundations Class
Our major focus in this class will be teaching great cik&cap in order to get tight turns, great distance skills, sends, extension and collection all at the same time, putting it in sequences to make it even more fun for the dogs and to practice some basic handling. We'll also be addressing speed&motivation issues and start with weaves, see-saw and contacts. Since all the feedback is completely personalized, it's appropriate for all levels - we had everybody from puppies to World Team members in this class.
We'll address all the topics addressed in Foundations video + see-saw, contacts and weaves:
Video length limitation per lesson is 10 minutes per lesson (in total that means 60 min in 12 weeks of the class) and contacts videos are only allowed when those lessons are out (so in 2nd and 6th lesson - all together for 4 weeks).
Minimum age at the beginning of the class is 6 months, minimal equipment needed: 3 jumps, a tunnel and Foundations DVD. Agility Diary is recommended, but not requested. Appropriate for all levels, from total beginners to experienced dogs who could use better turns, more independence or speed. The class has 6 lessons, one every 2 weeks = 12 weeks of feedback (+ 2 weeks of a catch-up break in between).
At the moment, you can only register as auditor of March Foundations and then enter the classroom. Next Foundation class starts on August 17th, with registration opening on July 24.

All fixed now, should work now.
Is registration still open?
Yes, you can still join! We are still at Lesson 1.
Hi Sylvia,
I have not taken an online class before and so don’t know about posting videos, so thinking I maybe should audit this class. Do I need to order the video separately?
I will practice setting up videos for myself at home and see if I can do it so next time can take a participant class. Thank you, Shela
Sounds like a good plan yes! As an auditor, you can still get the video for the same, reduced price, but you need to let me know and I then send you a money request after auditing payment.
I just saw this class. It sounds like it’s just what we need! How much longer is registration open? Will I be able to post videos for the lessons we’ve already missed? When does this class officially end? When will you be offering this again?
The registration will close in a couple of days, but yes, you can still join at the moment and post on past lessons as well. The class is on till January 24.
And oh, for the next one, I don’t know yet… Maybe May/June…
When will be open registration to foundation class of march ?
On February 20 🙂
When will the next set of foundation classes start after this? My pup won’t be 6 months until the 4th April 🙂
That could work if you just avoid too many repetitions and know you might not be able to master it all -- many people don’t anyway and just take it twice or finish it up on their own. Most likely, next class will start end of August.

O.k.! See you then!!! 🙂
What are the differences between the DVD and the online Class? Can you graduate of the DVD Also? And, can you answer dudes of the DVD if I don’t understand something?☺
It’s very different -- with DVD you work on your own, based on what I show on a DVD. In a class, you follow a program, post videos and get immediate and constant feedback on your work + can see more troubleshooting, following other students. You need the DVD also for the class, but the class offers personal feedback that DVD of course doesn’t.
Ok, so, with the DVD, you don’t help troubles that can happen?
