Dog Agility Class - Sequence Training- Wednesdays 6:30pm to 8:30pm
This agility class is open to handlers whose dogs are proficient in negotiating all agility obstacles and whose dogs are
reliably controllable off-lead. The handlers must have taught their dogs a basic handling system which includes front
and rear crosses, directional cues, and speed cues.
While the class does last 2 hours, dogs are not expected to work or train the entire two hours. The class format allows
students to take 3 to 4 turns on the equipment or agility exercises with the instuctor's guidance, that can last 5 to 10 minutes
per turn. The remaining class time, the handler will be learning through observing other dogs and handlers, practicing their
obedience and attention work with their own dogs, and helping to set bars, move equipment, and build courses. Handers are
encouraged to bring a crate for your dog to rest in when your dog is not working.
Agility students are encouraged to make arrangements to build or purchase practice equipment for use at home (at least
4 jumps, 1 contact obstacle, and a set of 12 weave poles) OR plan to find some place to practice agility between classes.
Keeping a journal of your agility training is also recommended so that handlers can plan homework sessions, track their
progress, keep up with a list of commands they use with their dogs, and set goals for training.
Cost is $75 for each six weeks of class.
