This class introduces preparation work for contact obstacles such as the teeter, dog walk, and A-frame, ensuring that your dog develops confidence and proper technique before progressing to full-height equipment. The nose touch targeting behavior introduced in Level 1 will now be systematically transferred to the dog walk and A-frame, helping your dog understand how to safely and accurately navigate these obstacles. Different elements of the teeter totter will also be introduced gradually, allowing your dog to develop comfort and balance at their own pace. Throughout the class, dog and handler teams will rotate through a series of stations, maximizing individual training time and providing focused practice on specific skills. In addition, teams will begin working on short sequences of tunnels and jumps, learning how to link obstacles together and improve communication on the course. Because multiple teams will be working on the arena floor at the same time, it’s essential that dogs have strong focus and attention to their handler. This level helps solidify teamwork while introducing the skills necessary to move toward full agility courses, building both confidence and enthusiasm for the sport.
