Come practice with me this fall (virtually!)

It's time for my twice-a-year backyard training group! We have so much fun training and supporting each other, doing agility in a 40x40 foot (or less) space.

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 40' space. Brenna Fender (author of Ready to Run, Vol. 1 - Agility Skills & Drills for Small Spaces) 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 40' 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!
