Beginner agility Saturday mornings at 10:00 am Thursdays at 10:00 am & 6:30 pm Just starting out? This class will teach the foundational obstacle skills and the handling skills you need to help develop your agility team. We will safely introduce dogs to all obstacles including open chennel weaves and touch plates. Handlers will learn the foundational handling skills including front and rear crosses. We will also introduce distance skills, and directional commands. Students will stay in this level until the dogs are fluent on all obstacles, and handlers have achieved the skills needed for the novice competition level . We encourage handlers of all types of dogs to play agility with us. Dogs and handlers need to be in good physical condition and ready to have fun!

Sequences will utilize front and rear crosses. Distance handling skills will also be developed. Weave poles performance should be "closed channel" or nearly closed to participate at this level.
