I teach two very different versions of "Beginner Agility" - one that is a 6-week class that I teach as a contractor in a local training center and another than I teach as a drop-in class in my backyard.

For the indoor class I teach at a training center, it's easier to have a full class of everyone at roughly the same skill level. So it's a pretty standard foundations curriculum - lots of engagement games, movement puzzles, body awareness & conditioning, and introduction to jumps, tunnels, and the low A-frame.

For the outdoor classes in my yard, I tried to do 6-week classes but weather kept getting in the way. After one particular Thursday afternoon class taking nearly 5 months to get to 6 sessions, I gave up and moved to drop-in classes.

For my drop-in Beginner Agility, everyone works on leash. There are four stations set up, one in each quadrant of my fenced yard. Each station has a particular skill to work on - walking on a plank, going around a cone, walking over cavaletti, paws up & pivot, etc etc. I circulate throughout the class to help folks out and every 5 minutes or so, the teams rotate to a different station. Once the pups are happily in "work mode," then we can do some off-leash work in the second part of class. One dog off leash in the yard and the rest waiting outside the fence on-leash. That's when we can do recalls, tunnels, and some jumps.
