The Concept
Four different topics, divided into four levels; beginners, advanced, expert and master. Each level is built up with a step-by-step guidance of exercises, with text, illustrations and videos.
-
Focus and Independence In this step you will work with exercises that improve the dog's task and obstacle focus, which also will be beneficial for line work and start routines.
-
Connection In this step you will work with exercises that enhance the dog's attention to you. I believe an effective agility dog is characterized by a balance between obstacle focus and handler focus.Forming the most efficient lines requires a strong connection with our dogs.
-
Listening Skills Independence will rely a lot on the dog's actual understanding of the different tasks. In this step you will dive into exercises aimed at improving the dog's ability to receive, process, and promptly respond to verbal cues.
-
Commitment In this step we will work with exercises to give the dog more experience and confidence in comprehending tasks on their own.

How does the Classroom work?
The Facebook classroom provides an interactive space for course participants to share their training videos and receive instant feedback on their training. Here's how it works:
Video Sharing 🎥
Participants can upload their training videos directly to the Facebook group, where each participant will have their own “thread”. A video can consist of different sessions and exercises, with a maximum length of 10 minutes. Please edit out any unnecessary parts in the videos ✂️
Feedback 📝
Once a video is posted, you will receive constructive feedback from me, the teacher, within three work days (Monday-Friday). For example, if you share your video on Thursday at 10:00, you should receive feedback on your work by Tuesday at 10:00. Other members may also provide comments or questions in each other's threads, as this creates a collaborative learning environment.
Observation of Progress 👀
The group format allows participants to observe and learn from each other's experiences and challenges.
Q&A 🗣️
There will be specific dates for live broadcasts where I'll answer your questions or discuss various topics. There's a dedicated thread in the group where you can always comment with your questions to have them addressed in the next Q&A.
Supportive Community 🤝
All participants are encouraged to share their successes, seek advice for challenges, and celebrate achievements within the community. Let us build a supportive network with a common goal: getting better at the sport we adore!
Overall, the Facebook classroom serves as a dynamic platform for ongoing learning, feedback exchange, and community building for the participants of the course.
