This course is great for any age or size dog or puppy. If you would
like to "test" your dog to see if your dog would "LIKE" dog agility, this course is for YOU!! This is
also a great course for any shy or fearful dog to aide in *building confidence".
The course will consist of
teaching dogs & puppies to negotiate numerous different agility obstacles starting with very easy challenges
and, sticking with the pace of each dog's ability, steadily guiding the dogs through more challenging obstacles.
The entire course is conducted on leash.
Basic Obedience Training is recommended before entering this class,
but it is not required.

to practice at the Georgia Dog Gym field at least twice per week in order to continue to receive private instruction.
