Intro to Agility

Kickstart your dog’s agility journey with this fun and engaging introductory class! In this class, you and your dog will work together to develop essential skills, focusing on key elements like jumping techniques, basic handling maneuvers, and a strong understanding of agility obstacles such as the tunnel and table. We’ll also emphasize building independent obstacle performance, helping your dog to confidently navigate each course element. This class is perfect for new teams looking to introduce their dogs to the world of agility in a fun, positive, and supportive environment. By the end, your dog will not only have greater confidence and focus but will also be well on their way to mastering foundational agility skills!

• Dog should be at least 6 months in age.

• Dogs should know sit, be able to walk well on leash, and be comfortable around other dogs. 

• Dogs must not be aggressive towards humans. 

• I highly recommend that the dog is either food or toy motivated.

During class, you will need a 4 to 6 foot long fabric or leather leash and a flat collar or martingale collar to use when working.  You will also need a small flat target (such as a coaster or tupperware lid) to use for food targeting exercises.  

​

You will need 1 to 3 "jumps" to practice with at home.  We will discuss options during the first class, from as simple a full diy using things you already have at home to places you can purchase pre-made jumps.
