Four (Now Five) Novice Skills Training Courses

02 Nov 2025

Here are four (updated to five) novice/starters level skills training sequences for a narrow training space from a recent workshop I gave at Talcott Mountain Agility Club in Manchester, CT. We had a lot of fun working on different ways to handle them and using clear cues for the dogs.

If you have more space you could definitely spread the obstacles out. Shameless plug: my Agility Course Master software lets Masters level subscribers shrink or grow course maps and it updates the obstacle locations automatically.
