Freestyle Foundations
This 6 week Online Zoom® class is perfect for those that have little to no Freestyle experience! You and your dog will learn the basic foundations and elements used in Freestyle and what is needed to create an engaging and fun routine.
Classes are kept small; 4-7 students so that the Instructor can give a lot of personal attention and feedback. Because it happens in the live Zoom® format, the Instructor can see how you are progressing with your dog and give you immediate attention as needed.
This class can be taken multiple times and each time, the content will be adjusted for the skill level of each individual Teams. We expect that most Participants will take this class at least twice.
Skills that will be worked on will be:
- Attention & Focus
- Left Side heeling
- Spins and Circles
- Front Weaves
- The beginnings of Handler movement
Students will have access to an online video of their class each week within 2 days of the live class. These videos will remain available to them for 2 weeks after the class finishes.
Requirements:
- A happy, willing dog!
- A Webcam with a microphone (on a computer or a tablet)
- A free account with ‘Zoom’
- At least an 8’ space to work in
Level: Starters
These classes are appropriate for Handler & Dog teams who have little to no Freestyle experience. We recommend that teams with no prior experience consider taking the Foundations class at least twice until they are comfortable in the basics before moving on.
