Agility for Beginners

If you’ve ever watched an agility competition, you know it’s basically a canine obstacle course. The dog must run through tunnels, leap over jumps, and weave through poles, but the dog isn’t working alone; this is a sport of exquisite teamwork. A successful run requires taking each obstacle in a certain order, and the dog relies on their handler to tell them what that is. That makes dog agility an exciting celebration of canine athleticism and the dog-human bond.
This class will be all about building the foundation you need to create and nurture that successful team by building a strong relationship and learning self control.

Some things that will be covered in this class include:

🐕 intro to contacts
🐩 one jump skills
🦮 body awareness, strength and proprioception
🐕‍🦺 learning to work with distractions
🐕 flatwork

Classes are held indoors/outdoors (as appropriate based on the weather and time of year) at 3400 Wallace Rd in South Mountain. The session runs 6 weeks (one class per week), and the cost is $230+HST.

Class cancellations/changes: please note that we reserve the right to change the location and/or date and/or time of the class if operational needs require it (ex: inclement weather, class size, illness, etc.). However, we will do our best not to make these changes unnecessarily.
