Introduction to Agility
This course introduces the dog and handler to both the
agility equipment and what they want to call each obstacle.
Since safety and motivation are primary concerns at
this level, each dog moves at his own pace until confidence
is gained. For both beginners to the sport and seasoned
competitors, this is the foundation course for agility.
This course is appropriate for both puppies and adult
dogs.
Beginners/ Advanced Beginners
These two courses provide
further training to increase the levels of confidence
for the dog on the agility equipment until full heights
are achieved. Simple sequencing of obstacles is introduced
as well as continued work on accurate performance and
building speed. This course further strengthens the
foundation of good communication and teamwork between
dog and handler with an emphasis on having fun!
Competition
This course is designed for
those dogs and handlers about ready to compete as well
as those already competing. Course sequences are designed
to create challenges for you and your dog to increase
skills at the advanced level so that you can be successful
in the upper levels of competition (Elite/Excellent/Masters).
Practices will include games and game strategies such
as Gamblers, Jumpers and Snooker.
DROP-INS
are welcome at the Intermediate and Competition levels
as space allows.
