1 The Agility CoachTM Micro Spaces Notebook Volume You don t need a big space to work on fundamentals!

2 Volume Set I If you want something bad enough, you can get there. The size of your training space does not limit your ability as a handler, the only thing that does is your drive to persevere. You can get a lot of focused work done in a small space. Many people who have achieved great things started without ideal circumstances, so I congratulate you on your determination! This first volume holds seven different sets with a minimum of four exercises per set. There are exercises using only two jumps, one jump and a set of 6 weave poles or just one jump. If you have more room, you can spread out the jumps a bit more. If you have less room, you may be able to fit the exercises in with smaller jumps or by tweaking the drill a bit. There is one set of one jump work for a 0 x 0 space but the work is based around approximately x 0. These exercises work on push-throughs, pull-throughs, 70s, 80s, wraps, and leadouts. When practicing, don t always take the obvious route. By choosing alternate routes, you will work on different skills and learn how to see all the possibilities, even if it may not be how you would choose to handle it in a trial. With a small space, you must be creative! If you enjoy these exercises, you will love The Agility Coach Notebooks (one for Large Spaces and one for Small Spaces). They not only have course sets, but some ideas and suggestions for handling and some of the pros and cons. You can find them under Products at.
