Agility Classes

The club currently offers three levels of agility classes. They provide a gradual progression up to performing the long and complicated sequences usually seen at trials, by building a solid foundation of confidence and independent obstacle performance in each dog.

Beginners Class

We base this class on the Introductory Workbook published by Clean Run, a large world-wide agility organization. It aims to develop your motivational training skills, introduce dogs to all the agility obstacles, and begin independent performance of the obstacles and simple sequencing.

Experienced Beginners

This class utilizes the same equipment as the Beginners class, but focuses on perfecting your dog's understanding of each obstacle, improving sequencing skills, and learning turns, switches, and distance handling.

Advanced Class

This class actually combines students with different abilities. Students at competition level take turns presenting sequences that involve distance handling, obstacle discrimination, turns and switches, and speed and flow challenges, guiding less advanced students in developing the necessary handling skills.

Comp Days

Our classes run on an 8-week session. While we do not hold formal gradings, as we do in Obedience, handlers have the opportunity to run through particular sequences on Comp Day and to graduate to the next training level.
