WHY FOUNDATION?
The agility foundation program I have designed lays the groundwork for developing a competitive agility dog regardless of breed or size. As a result, the program was written with the end in mind --a competition savvy dog. The games and skills we develop in foundation class may not look like the fast paced, obstacle completion we think of when we hear the word "agility", but are instead skills that prepare our dogs for faster, more accurate, and safer performance over the long term of their career. This foundation program is the same program that I use with my own dogs! It is so important to develop a strong skill set before a dog touches a piece of equipment. To help you visualize where these games lead, please watch our Foundation Games video. This video demonstrates skills Puppy Helo was working on, followed immediately by clips of my competing dog, Leda, utilizing those skills on master's level agility courses. Enjoy! --Tara Baggerman |
