Introductory Agility

This class is an introduction to the performance of agility obstacles and obstacle sequencing. This is an introductory agility class for dogs and handlers with a solid positive working relationship. Dogs entering this class should be confident with good basic obedience skills including recall from distractions and a dog that is willing to run with their handler. Participants move rapidly in this class to working their dogs off leash. This class consists of 10 regular sessions and a graduation run through.

 

Advanced Beginner Agility

The Advanced Beginner class continues development of obstacle performance skills increasing the dogs confidence with round the clock performance of all obstacles. Obstacles are gradually increased to full height. The major class focus is on sequencing and handling skills. Dogs should be comfortable with performance of agility obstacles including low height teeter for entry into this class and be willing to work off leash with their handler.


Intermediate Agility

The Intermediate class focuses on the further development of handling skills. Dogs entering this class should be comfortable on all of the obstacles, work reliably with the handler through a sequence of obstacles and perform obstacles from any presentation. Dogs should have rudimentary weave pole skills and reliable performance at the bottom of contact obstacles for entry into this class. The class extends sequence length and complexity and introduces distance work.


Advanced Agility

The advanced class is an ongoing class focusing on an array of challenges likely to be encountered in a competition environment.
