BAD Club offers
four levels of training classes - Beginners, Novice,
Intermediate and Advanced. Each level has a particular
focus and the content of the classes is outlined below.
Please note
that BAD Club uses only positive training methods to
teach new
behaviours - no harsh handling or harsh corrections
will be tolerated.

Beginners |
The
focus of this 8 week course is to teach our dogs how to
learn and to focus on their handler. Handlers are introduced
to shaping as a technique to teach new behaviours and the
correct use of the clicker. Dogs are introduced to many
agility obstacles (low jumps, tunnels, tyre, broad jump
as well as low height contact equipment and weavers).
|
| |
Novice |
This 8 week
course builds on from the Beginners course. The height of
the jumps and contact equipment is raised to full height,
dogs are introduced to the see-saw and handlers learn handling
and turns such as the front cross, rear cross and false turn. |
| |
Intermediate |
The Intermediate
class runs every week and focusses on putting together sequences
of 6 - 8 obstacles. Dogs in this class are proficient on
all pieces of equipment and the focus is on handling and
turns. |
| |
Advanced |
The Advanced
class focusses on advanced level handling and sequencing.
The majority of the dogs in this class are competing regularly
at the highest level of ADAA agility. |
