Agility specific things - the only agility specific things we've started are the teeter with me holding the end, she's doing really well and loves it! The table, again I'm really pleased with her, we've started recall to heel exercises.
- Have full understanding of postional cues
- teach jumping using Linda's foundation work
- teeter- run to the end, crouch down and wait until board hits the ground and move
- Contacts-Silvia's method. (With full ability to turn using direction cues, and fully independent of my position)
- Table- get on, stay on, get in postion fast and leave on cue, quickly
- Come in close when cued, not after taking an obstacle, immediately come to whatever location is cued (AKC courses are getting tighter and tighter and I find I'm needing this skill more all the time).
- Full understanding of verbal obstacle cues....I tend to run silent and depend 100% on motion cues, it does work well, 99% of the time, but I need to break this habit.
- Full understanding of forward & lateral sends.
- Weave poles- find the entry no matter where I am, stay in no matter where I am, with speed. will probably use 2 X 2 but may try channels
I'll probably be adding to this list over time.
