Foundation Class
For puppies and beyond.  Puppies learn more in the first 6 months than any other time – mostly through play.  In this course, your “pup” will get an introduction to some agility obstacles, tricks and basic obedience through play.  You will need a 4’ lead , collar (preferably a martingale style), soft treats and favorite toy.      

 Beginner Agility
Introduces Dog and Handler to agility equipment using the skills learned from the Foundation class.  Dogs are taught the correct way to perform each obstacle and begin simple sequencing.  Basic obedience of Sit, Down, Stay and a Recall is a prerequisite.

 Intermediate Agility
Continues building the dog and handler confidence on the obstacles while working longer sequences and beginning handler maneuvers such as side changes.

 Advanced Agility
This class is designed as a pre-competition preparation course, going over venue rules, novice level courses and equipment proficiency with focus on the more advanced skills that will be required to compete at the Open and eventually the Excellent level of competition.

 Excellent Competition
Dogs/Handlers are already competing in Open/Excellent level and are looking for challenges that are currently being used in trials.  Video taping will be included.

 Drop In
Sessions are for any dog which has completed or is in an advanced agility course and is comfortable with weave poles and obstacles off lead.  You will be allowed at least 2 runs on either a jumpers or standard course.  This is a great venue to explore various techniques for speed and/or motivating your dog’s performance.
