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).
We'll be starting with the first homework on August 17, but you can register and enter the classroom already now to check out pre-homework 🙂 - and look around the classroom!

Ok, but in Ready-Steady GO! DVD, you only ‘talk’ about Speed? (And we need it) 😉

Yes, Ready-Steady-GO! is focused on just speed and motivation. And Foundation class is focused on various skills, so both would be the best option. If you go for just one option, go with the class.
The link needs to be a short YouTube link, so just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= and then video ID number.
Ok, Perfect! You are amaazing :).
If I finally can’t do the Class (This Year 😉 ), I’ll take some DVDs.
Here is the video:

What do you think? 🙂
She is certainly trying hard! But yes, both Ready-Steady-GO! and Foundations would be a great idea to get her run with even more confidence and speed.
Thank you! She was looking around because my parents were there and she didn’t see them jajaj. But yes, we are really slow :).
I am interested in taking Foundations and I checked to see if I already have the DVD. You said we need the “Foundations” DVD and the one I own is called “Foundations Fun”… is that the same DVD?
Thanks,
Leslie
Congratulations on your winning EO run!!!!
Yes, that’s what you need! See you in class!
Hi-
I think I’m running a little behind, as I think class started this week?? We just finished your puppy class but we aren’t quite 6 months old yet. Is class still an option at 5.2 months old or do we need to wait longer?
Yes, we just started, so you can still join, but you have to know you can’t do the whole class program with such a young pup, it would just be too much -- but then, many people take it twice anyway to really master it all.
