Intro to Agility
Six-week series at Bosly's Backyard — 7:45-8:45pm, Tuesdays, September 22 – October 27

Every dog already knows how to move — this class is about learning to move together.

Intro to Agility is where handling and confidence come first. Over six weeks, you'll build the communication skills that make agility work: reading your dog's stride, sending them ahead, calling them back to you, and helping them find their footing in a new environment. We'll also dig into confidence-building exercises for dogs who are unsure about new surfaces, sounds, or setups — the kind of groundwork that pays off everywhere, not just on course.

Along the way, you'll pick up agility-inspired games you can play at home or bring with you to Bosly's: cavaletti work, targeting, send-aways, and body-awareness exercises that build drive and coordination without needing a full course to do it.

This class is a great fit for dogs and handlers who are brand new to agility, or anyone who wants a lower-pressure space to build fundamentals before jumping into full equipment work.
