What Classes are offered? |
- AGILITY FUNDAMENTALS CLASS: Uses key obedience behaviors required in agility
(ie. focus on handler, sit, down, start-line stay, come from distractions and line-up at start-line)
Lead-hand-directing
is taught to each handler/dog team. Coordination for performing contact equipment is developed using mini-contact equipment.
Some handler/dog teams may need to enroll in at least two sessions. (Prerequisite: All handler dog teams enrolling
in Agility classes for the first time, must take this course or have instructor evaluation for placement.) - AGILITY
NOVICE CLASS: Students use skills taught in Agility Fundamentals while learning to successfully and
safely execute all lowered regulation size contact equipment. In addition jump grid work and channel weaves are taught.
The foundation for how to execute tight turns, serpentines etc. is introduced. These skills are applied while running
longer more sophisticated obstacle sequences which require front and rear crosses. (Prerequisite: Agility Fundamentals

on full-height contact equipment. Straight line weave pole execution is introduced and longer more sophisticated course
sequences are practiced. In addition handlers are introduced to agility course analysis. (Prerequisite:

complex sequences, challenging course design and important handling patterns (ie. serpentines, 270's, threadles, leadouts,
