Obstacle Games & Shadow Skills: Novice
Wag It Games are a series of low stress games designed for you to have fun with your dog and build a stronger relationship. Wag It Games has several divisions (Sniff It, Dog Ball, Quarry Quest, Water Skills and Agility), but in this class we will focus on 2 divisions:
Shadow Skills: Dogs work on both sides of the handler in heel position, performing a variety of twists, turns and side changes. Challenge both your dog and you in learning these new moves! Once we have some of these moves down, we will perform them on a course.
Obstacle Games (No Need for Speed): Learn to move through and around a number of obstacles with your dog! Your dog will go through hoops and tunnels, step through ladders, up steps and over bridges. Direct your dog to move away to perform some moves. Much of the work in both Shadow and Obstacle skills involves the handler learning how to move to correctly direct the dog. Obstacle skills will also eventually be performed on a course.
Wag It Games are also appropriate for older dogs and dogs with physical limitations.
