Wednesdays Starting February 19th
Agility For Fun Group Class
6 week class, limit 6 dogs, $225

7-8PM: This class is for those we are interested in doing agility with their dog just for fun (not for competition, however you will learn most of the skills if you ever did want to compete with your dog and could easily transfer to a competition class). We will introduce your dog (if they haven’t been already) to the obstacles in agility including: jumps, tunnels, A-frame, dog walk, teeter, and weave poles. Dogs who are reactive please reach out before booking. Dogs will work one at a time in this class on the agility course so please be prepared to either work your dog out of the car or have control over them when it is not their turn (we have crates and place beds available for use).

-What to bring: for this class we will use food and toy reinforcements so please bring both!
-Prerequisites: Basic Obedience or similar group class, your dog will need to be able to work off leash with distractions. If you have any questions on whether your dog is ready for this class or they are reactive, please contact us to set up a consultation first to make sure this class is appropriate for them.
-Instructor: Kate Norris
