We have two upcoming agility classes on Tuesdays with openings! Visit our website or email us to enroll!

Foundation Competition Agility Group Class
6 week class, limit 6 dogs, $225

6:30-7:30PM: In this group class we will cover all the foundation skills you and your dog need to get started in competition agility training. Dogs 4 months and older are welcome to join this class and we can modify activities based on the age of the dog. We will cover foundation skills for jumping, contacts, weave poles (open channel with guides); as well as cover beginner handling skills you will need to sequence courses with your dog. THERE WILL BE HOMEWORK IN THIS CLASS! Please do not sign up if you do not intend to do the homework (we offer Agility for Fun classes that are more laid back and don’t have homework!). This class is not for reactive dogs.. This class is a pre-requisite class for all of our competition agility classes.

Pre-requisite: Perfomance puppy and the ability to stay engaged with handler in a group class setting off leash (no other dogs in ring but dogs outside of ring)
-----------
Intermediate Competition Agility Group Class
6 week class, limit 6 dogs, $225

7:30-8:30PM: This group class is for dogs who have completed foundation and beginner competition agility group classes (here or elsewhere) and the dog and handler can perform basic handling with sequences of 5-7 obstacles. Weave poles should be closed or partially closed (channels with guides). Contacts should be almost complete (or require a little help, but the dog has a general understanding of their end behavior criteria). This class is not for reactive dogs and dogs should be able to work with their handler in a group setting off-leash with distractions for this class. If your dog does not meet the criteria for the class listed above, please reach out to us to find a suitable class for them, do not sign up for the class if your dog does not meet the criteria!

Tuesdays Starting October 20th
Arousal Management for Dog Sports Group Class
6 week class, limit 6 dogs, $225

5-6PM: This class will be molded to the participates! I will send out an email before the start of class to see everyone’s experience level and what their goals are in terms of sports and arousal issues. This class is appropriate for puppies and young dogs as a way to hopefully prevent arousal issues and teach you how to use arousal to your benefit in sports! We also do a lot of this work in our flyball classes as well, so if you can’t make this class, consider that one (even if you aren’t interested in competing in flyball, it is great crossing training for other sports!).

Prerequisites: previous group class experience. This class is not appropriate for all reactive dogs - if you have a reactive dog you MUST contact us before registering - failure to do so result in no refund if the class is not appropriate.

What to bring: We will use food reinforcements for this class, due to the time of the class I would recommend not feeding your dog dinner and using their dinner for the class! We will also use toys for toy motivated dogs.

Instructor: Curriculum by April Pelletier (will be in the class with her puppy and can help as needed), Class instructed by Kate Norris! Visit our website or email to enroll!

We still have a few spots in our flyball class! Great for working on cross training for other sports too! Visit our website or email to enroll (fb doesn't allow links anymore without paying! boo!).

Mondays Starting October 19th
Flyball Group Class
4 week class, $155/dog, limit 8 dogs

7:15PM: This class is open for dogs for dogs of all levels in sport of flyball (including newbies and puppies!). Dogs will be worked in blocks based on their experience level. Each dog will get two turns. In-between turns please plan to crate out of your car. Flyball is a team sport so when you aren’t running your dog it is expected you will be in the building helping other dogs with restraining, boxloading, props, etc., this includes after your dog’s turns are done. For this class we will need help setting up and putting away equipment at the beginning and end of class (very quick if everyone helps, max 5 minutes). This is a class that runs until completion (anywhere from 1-2 hours) so please be prepared to stay the whole time. Flyball skills are great cross-training for agility and other sports!

What to bring: for this class we will be working dogs for both food and toy reinforcements!

Prerequisite: Basic obedience or sports foundation class, if you do not have these please email us first (we maybe able to accommodate!). Please reach out before registering if your dog is reactive. If your dog is reactive and needs to be excused from the class there will be no refund. Puppies welcome!!

Mondays Starting October 26th
Heeling Foundations Group Class
4 week class, $155/dog, limit 6 dogs

5-6PM: In this class we will be focusing on the skills required to teach focused heeling and contact heeling! Dogs of any age or skill level are welcome. Focused heeling is required in many obedience sports, but can also just be taught for fun! We will cover a variety of ways to teach this skill so you can find what works best for you and your dog. We will also look at contact heeling, where the dog touches you in heel position but does not need to focus on you. This skill is very helpful in everyday life as well as a way to further work on body positioning in heel.

-Prerequisite: this class is not appropriate for reactive dogs. Please reach out before registering if your dog is reactive. If your dog is reactive and needs to be excused from the class there will be no refund.
-What to bring: You will need a fixed leash (4-6 feet) for this class. We will use food and toy (if your dog likes toys) reinforcements in this class so please bring both!
