Beginner agility
New to agility? Start here.
A six-week class for dogs and handlers just starting out. Your dog should be at least six months old, comfortable around other dogs and people, and motivated by a treat or a toy — that's the only experience required.
What you'll work on:
Focus on you, even with distractions nearby
A first introduction to jumping
A first introduction to agility equipment
Agility asks for trust before it asks for speed. Most of this class is spent building the partnership that makes the obstacles possible later — not running a course yet, just learning to read each other.

For teams who've done this before — continuing with the same dog, or starting over with a new one.
A six-week class for dogs and handlers with some agility background. Skills build on what Beginner Agility covers: more sequencing, more obstacles, and cues that work at a distance.
What you'll work on:
Holding focus on you at greater distance and more distraction
Linking obstacles into short sequences
Directional handling cues — sending your dog ahead, calling them to you mid-course
Age requirement: dogs over six months.
