Agility for Beginners is for dogs and/or people who are new to agility. We work on making each dog familiar and comfortable with all the obstacles – jumps, tunnels, chutes, table, dog walk, A-frame, teeters and weaves.

Intermediate is at 8:30 p.m.
Intermediate Agility is for dogs already comfortable with all obstacles, who still need some practice in mastering the weaves and teeter. In this class, owners learn skills for handling the dog efficiently, and how to recognize patterns in the courses to make them easier to navigate.

Come join us! Please Call to reserve a spot.
