SPRING SPECIAL! Regularly $85 for Premier and $65 for Standard; now $70 and $45

If you train agility skills frequently at home, you will find that you make much faster progress toward your agility goals than if you only train once a week at class.  

• Don't have a lot of space? 

• Don't know what to train? 

• Don't have the motivation or support you need to get to work?

"Backyard Training Matters" with Brenna Fender can help! This weekly training group is a unique opportunity to improve your skills in a supportive, friendly environment—all while training in your backyard! 

Each lesson takes a variety of challenges from upper-level agility courses and replicates some of these challenges in an approximately 40' x 45' space. Your host, Brenna Fender, reviews, analyzes, and demonstrates some of the challenges and then offers you suggestions and support while you work on the "mini courses" using your own handling style and focusing on your own goals. Mini courses will be broken down for those who need to or want to work in small sections. Options are available for those working on Novice courses as well as those at Masters level.

Everyone can post videos for accountability or for advice (Standard students can also submit limited video!). This training group will not provide specific handling instruction, but it will offer suggestions, coaching, support, and lots of ideas of things to try that fit in a backyard space with limited equipment. 

If you don't have a 40' x 45' training area, you are still welcome. We will work together to find ways you can train the basics of the challenges in your available space. We can work around some missing equipment too! 

Special features:  

• Detailed video analysis
• Modifications for space and equipment limitations
• Accountability options for those who need some help staying on track 
• A friendly, supportive online environment, including threads for complimenting fellow group members
• Weekly discussions topics (student- and instructor-led)

This training group has both Premier and Standard options. Premier students can submit up to 4 minutes of video each week. They will get their own personal thread in which they can submit their videos and communicate with the instructor. Standard students can submit one 30-second video per week in the weekly uploads thread. 

What is included with your registration?

• Every Wednesday, you will receive at least 8 nested mini courses (that's 8 different courses without having to move your equipment around!). These approximately 10-obstacle courses will replicate challenges found on upper-level courses in different agility organizations. You will also receive a demo video illustrating the challenges on some of the mini courses. You'll see mistakes and adjustments as well as the way the course is modified at times based on the dog's skills or other challenges or limitations. 

• Access to all course materials on both mobile devices and your computer.

• Downloadable content for off-line access when you're out training.

• Ability to ask questions, participate in discussions, and watch all posted videos

• Keep what you buy—No expiring content; after the course ends, you won't be able to ask questions, but the content is still available to you.

What additional items are included with a Premier registration?

• Premier students can submit up to 4 minutes of video each week and get their own personal thread in which they can submit their videos and communicate with the instructor. 

Prerequisites

This course is aimed toward novice, intermediate, and early advanced-level dogs and their handlers. Dogs should be able to safely perform low jumps (or a jump alternative like a hoop or running through jump uprights) and any other obstacles that the handler wants to use in the exercises. Handlers with dogs whose growth plates have not yet closed should consult a health professional to determine whether the dog is ready to jump and weave.

Equipment & space needed

• A minimum of 6 jumps or jump substitutes (like hoops) are needed to run approximately 50% of the mini courses as designed. A tunnel, 6 weave poles, and a table (or substitutions for these) will be used in some of the courses but they are not required. Even 4 jumps and a tunnel will keep you busy in this course. We can work around equipment limitations and substitutions; just contact Brenna after you enroll for the course. Short tunnels are encouraged for small spaces.

• Mini courses are set on a 40' x 60' course. Depending on the size and shape of your space and the size and running style of your dog, most of the exercises can be adapted or shortened to fit a smaller space.
