Class Description: A six week Beginner Course that introduces and emphasizes fundamental component skills needed for the sport of Agility. No prior agility experience is needed.

We will introduce a positive skill set for building a relationship with your dog including focus and self-control, motivation, balance/coordination and equipment familiarization. Most exercises will be done on leash as a group but individual help will be available if needed. You will learn groundwork for agility and foundation skills for contact obstacles, jumps, tunnels, see-saw, weave poles and table and build skills to perform all obstacles safely and correctly, plus teaching basic handling skills to complete sequences of obstacles. Attention and focus will be used to gradually work off leash, include beginning handling techniques and complete short sequences. This class may be repeated if necessary to build experience.
