Capacity:	5 handler/dog pairs

Semester: 2026-S3

Track: Agility

Type: Class

Part 1 of a 2-part class. Sequences, handling skills and course work will be a major portion of this class. Emphasis will be on honing basic handling skills: front cross, rear cross, and blind cross. Higher level skills will be introduced such as: backsides, threadles, serpentines, 270's, pinwheels, boxes, and discriminations. Specific issues will be addressed as needed: lack of focus, start line woes, weave woes, contact performance, building drive, etc. Expect to work short sequences (rather than full courses). Course analysis will be introduced (what is the best strategy for handling the most common challenges). Teams should be weaving 6 poles and have contact criteria established and reasonably consistent. Students should expect to repeat this class.

Semester: 2026-S3

Track: Agility

Type: Class

Part 1 of a 2-part class. This indoor class will introduce handlers and their dogs to basic 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 begin to interact with equipment such as wobble board, tunnel, table, and 2x2 weaves. Most work will be on lead, so 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. Tug toy(s) highly recommended. PREREQUISITE: Beginner Obedience. Dogs should come into the class with a basic knowledge of sit, down, and come.
