Class Descriptions

You will find the Class Descriptions below. The majority of classes are taught between March and October and are weather dependent.

Teaching Agility is a part time activity for me, classes and private lessons will meet on Saturdays only. Sunday the field is closed so I can spend time with my dogs. Classes may not run sequentially because weekends are when the Dog Agility Competitions are held.

Dog Requirements: Any healthy, non aggressive dog may participate. Dogs must be at least 6 months of age, and have taken at least one basic obedience class.

Human Requirements: Human team members must be at least twelve years old and any child under the age of 16 must have a parent in attendance during class. You should be comfortable with your dog off leash for short periods of time with other dogs around.

Both the humans and dogs must be non-agressive to other people and dogs both on and off leash.

CLASS POLICIES
Policies are meant to keep everyone safe and happy in class. Please take the time to read all of them, I believe you will find them very helpful. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
