🐕 Agility Foundations 🐕
We have an Agility Foundations class that will start on Mondays the end of February! There is ONE slot available. If you are interested, please note:
1. Your dog needs to have a SOLID understanding of stay, come, sit, and down - these skills will be tested at an evaluation that you must pass to participate;
2. Must have taken our Intermediate class (or equivalent; I’ll get more detail from you if you sign up);
3. Must not be dog or human aggressive or excessively reactive. This is a group class and much of our training is done off leash; and
4. This is a competition class - you need to intend on competing. This is not a class just for fun; it is an 18 month to 2 year training commitment.

Dogs need to be at least a year old to participate. If you’ve read the above and are interested in more information, please send us an email at [email protected].
