Agility Foundations (Formerly Agility 1 for Puppies and Dogs)
This class covers the foundations needed for the exciting sport of agility. A successful agility team starts with a strong relationship between dog and handler. This relationship is the focal point for communicating and teaching the skills needed for each of the obstacles. Whether a first time agility handler or an experienced handler starting a new dog, the games, body awareness and skills taught in this class establish the foundation for success. Like all of our classes, we hand pick our instructors for teaching this very important class which is the "foundation" for success in Agility.

Ready to start jumping? Want to set your dogs jumping off on the right paw? Then this class is for you! The focus of this class is on the details of proper form and use of the dog's body for jumping in collection or extension - away and towards the handlers position. Teaching them the fine points of how to use their bodies correctly to encourage effortless, efficient jumping, while reading the location of their handler so they can determine if an organized stride is needed, or not. We cover several of the basic jumping skills needed on most courses to set your team up for success! Great also for dogs already jumping but would benefit from the focused details of understanding how to use their bodies, especially in collection.
Prerequisites: Beg Agility Skills. Dogs must be fully grown (growth plates closed) and minimum of age 1. If you are unsure if your dog's growth plates are closed, please check with your veterinarian.

Ready? This Extreme Weaves class is for those teams that wish to work on the toughest of weave entries. We will look at how to grow or strengthen reliable weaves regardless of the handlers motion (or lack there of!). In addition to weekly training information, we will work sequences leading up to these entrances so dogs will not be working weaves for the full hour. Be ready to move & have fun!
Prerequisites: 2 Masters/Elite legs & a reliable sit/say
Serious about starting your weave pole training?
The channel & guide wire method to teaching weaves is used all over the world by serious competitors, who strive for independent motivated weaves!
The channel method requires regular access to 24" channel weave poles, in order to get the channels closed, and the guides off. The method does require immersion, and should not be started until you know you can dedicate the time to practice a minimum of once a day for at least 3 weeks. . Keep in mind, every dog learns at a different rate and has a different training history with its handler.
When your ready to get your weaves trained, this is the class & method for you!
With the class you will receive:* 1 hour weekly small-group lessons * 1 - 30 minute ring time session in Odie(can be scheduled via our on line scheduler). This free session is non-refundable if not used, but can be used up to 30 days after the class ends.
There is a LOT of training time needed between your scheduled weekly classes and your instructor will give you homework to work on. The Odie arena here at CSZ is set up so you can schedule weave training time if you do not have access to channel weaves at home. As the independent training time for this and the teeter class is high, we do not recommend taking the Weaves and Teeter classes in the same session.
Prerequisites: Dogs over 1 year & must be current CSZ students in Agility Skills or higher level.
It is very helpful and speeds the dogs understanding if they are driven by toys or will chase toys that enclose food like a lotus ball.
A $10/clean up fee is in effect for soiling on the turf at all times.
This class’s focus is designed to learn and maintain the higher level skills. From a proven theory of dog training, working a skill with clear instructions and a high rate of reinforcement, while both team members learn their timing, before applying the skill to a full course sets teams up for success! Both Clifford and Odie arenas will be used for this unique class. You will have the opportunity to reinforce the skill to the dog, while the handler pushes to improve their own timing and keeps the dog’s confidence up in Odie between your turns in the big ring to practice in a full course. This class is designed to train the handler as much, if not more, than the dog.
