     Semester: 2025-S4a Track: Agility  Type: Workshop

    In this workshop you will learn how to prepare for an AKC Agility Trial. We will discuss trial registration, what to bring, what to expect, and best practices. Handlers will learn about (and assist with) volunteer opportunities including course building, ring crew, gate steward, and leash running. The workshop will culminate in a trial simulation. Each dog-handler team will run a course with their dog(s) as if they were in an actual trial and receive feedback from the instructor.  
    Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Please bring lots of soft treats, water, and a crate. Not sure if you want to compete with your dog? You are still welcome to come and find out what an agility trial is all about!

     Semester: 2025-S5 Track: Agility  Type: Class


    Part 2 of a 2-part class. This indoor class will build on the skills learned in AGC 100 Agility 1 Foundations: Part A in teaching dog-handler teams foundational agility skills and safety. The curriculum is based on shaping behaviors through the use of positive reinforcement. Activities include start line stay, body awareness and flexibility, impulse control, introduction to contact end behavior, targeting/nose touch, directions, and handling “on the flat.” Dogs will continue to interact with equipment such as wobble board, tunnel, table, 2x2 weaves, and wing jumps (bars will be on the ground for puppies or very low for adult dogs). Dog-handler teams will begin sequencing with multiple obstacles.

    Dogs must be fitted with a flat buckle collar and a six-foot leash. No choke, pinch, gentle leaders or corrective harnesses will be allowed. Owners need to bring lots of small, soft treats and A CRATE.

    NOTE: This class will not meet November 30th.
