Foundations class now open!

09 Sep 2024
6 Comments

Good news for all, impatiently awaiting this super fun class! The classroom is now open - we're starting on October 10!

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

  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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

Fundations Revisited DVD trailer

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 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 October 10, but you can register and enter the classroom already now.

Some graduation videos 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.

    Hi Sylvia
    I have a 14 month old poodle and will probably look at doing your running contacts course. I am also going to start on weave training and just wanted to check with you that your 2014 fast and furious weaves is the most up to date for teaching weaves. I have the download but just wanted to make sure there isn’t anything more up to date.
    Thanks
    Karen

      Congratulations to your new youngster! Fast and furious weaves is still a good reference yes, but Foundations Revisited has a more updated version with all the last most important improvements to the channel method.

    Hi Sylvia
    I purchased and downloaded the foundations revisited video in November of last year and I know I watched it once but it has completely disappeared from my laptop. The only thing showing is the maps that go with it. There isn’t even anything in my downloads. Is there any possibility that I could download it again please?
    Thanks
    Karen Forrest
