Beginning Agility 1: We work on training the dogs "STOP" contacts. We continue training jumps and pair the jumps with a tunnel! We also do a lot of handler training by teaching post turns, front crosses, and rear crosses.
Beginning Agility 2: Students start sequencing! There is a lot of handler training in this class! We teach you how to walk a course and where to use front crosses, rear crosses, and post turns. Additionally, we teach how to be aware of your body language while running. Your dog will work on collection and extension and we start exposing the them to jumps at different angles to help build up their confidence! 90% of agility courses are jumps!

basic handling CLASS
Advanced and Premier Competition Agility Classes
Intermediate 1 thru 4
Our Basic Handling class helps students build awareness of the "dog's line". Understanding the dog's line helps handlers make better handling choices when they walk and run courses. Through practice and exposure to more challenging courses, students learn how to maximize their runs with their dogs .
Handlers also work on their body mechanics to better "cue" their dogs for improved performance.
