Agility Skills for All Levels

“I am so grateful and appreciative to your instructors. They were all very kind and patient with me, a first-time pet owner. They modeled and gave me the confidence I needed to work with my dog. I’m looking forward to taking more classes and workshops from this wonderful organization!”

About this Class:

This class is for all levels – from those who have never taken agility before to those who have been in Agility 3. Due to COVID, we will focus on skills you can train your dog without the humans having to huff and puff and run.
We will be training behaviors your dog needs to know to be fast and accurate on the agility course, including:
– Come to Hand
– 2 on, 2 off Contact
– Rear End Awareness
– Forward Send
– Wrap Around a Cone
– Front Cross
– Rear Cross
– Blind Cross

– Weave Pole Entries

If your dog already knows these skills, GREAT! You will be challenged with added distance, duration, and distractions to strengthen your dog’s understanding of their job.

Prerequisite: Puppy Kindergarten, Adolescent, or Basic Manners class

Note: This will *not* be a class where we run agility courses. It will be focused on training individual skills that will make your dog better at running agility courses when it is safe to breathe heavily indoors around other humans again.

Note: This class is not appropriate for dogs who display reactive behaviors toward humans or other dogs.

Instructor: E Foley (Foley’s Dog Training)

Fee:  $180
