Introduction to Agility (Level I)
Team up with your dog to learn how to navigate obstacle courses together! Agility is a great way to build confidence in a shy dog or to focus the energy of an exuberant dog. Obstacles introduced include jumps, tunnels, and the table. Handling exercises introduce sends, calls, post turns, and front crosses. Dogs must be at least one year old when class begins. Prerequisite: instructor permission.
Agility Obstacles and Handling (Level II)
Continue to strengthen the skills learned in Introduction to Agility as well as teach your dog to navigate weave poles and the teeter. Handler exercises introduce rear crosses and sequencing. Agility Level II increases in difficulty each session for returning students and is intended to be taken repeatedly until students are ready for Agility Level III. Prerequisite: Introduction to Agility.
Agility Patterns and Proofing (Level III)
Challenge your dog’s knowledge of the obstacles and handling cues learned in Agility Level II. This class improves dog/handler teams’ ability to work smoothly together in motion. Agility Level III increases in difficulty each session for returning students and is intended to be taken repeatedly until students are ready for competition handling classes. Prerequisite: instructor permission.
