Agility Level 1 Skill Building - dogs should be a minimum 10 months old (exceptions may be allowed on consultation with instructor). To be enrolled in the class, your dogs should have basic commands such as a recall, stay, sit/down (puppy and basic obedience classes are an asset).
Agility is an addicting sport for both you and your dog in which you navigate an obstacle course together. In this pre-agility class you will learn how to train your dog on the basic equipment such as tunnels, jumps, and tire jump. All exercises will be age appropriate so all dogs - old and young - can play. As a handler you will learn how to guide your dog through small sequences using positive reinforcement e.g. toy play and food rewards. This class will provide you with a good understanding of the foundational skills.
Pre-requisites: Basic skills (e.g. sit, stay, down, come). Please share any formal training with the instructor. *Please also let instructors know within the registration form if your dog has any food allergies and sensitivities towards humans or other dogs.
*Please do not pay until your registration is confirmed by the CK9C Class Coordinator. Your instructor will contact you with details and directions approximately 5-7 days before the start of classes.
