* Agility 3: This course will continue correct jumping recalls and weave entries. Major emphasis of this class will be contacts. Contact behavior will be the 2o2o method. This method was chosen because of the benefits to handlers and safety issues with beginning agility dogs. In order to avoid confusion, other behaviors on the contacts will not be permitted during class time. Participants of the class who prefer an alternative method of contact behavior will be permitted to work on other skills during contact instruction. Contacts will begin low and be raised to medium height by the end of the session. Practice on three weave entries using wires will continue. A very low teeter will also be used. Short sequences of 4-6 obstacles using contacts and incorporating jumps involving collection will be done.
