About the Event

 

Hi Pack Leaders! 

​

I have developed an agility course designed to promote healthy exercise, mental stimulation, improve confidence and trust.  

​

This is a fun positive reinforcement based course for all levels. Whether you are new to agility  or have some experience, this agility course is designed to build confidence and fulfill your dog’s need for mental, spiritual and physical challenges. You will be amazed at how quickly your dog will learn to trust you as you guide them through simple to more complex challenges.  

​

This course is designed to be fun and geared toward family dogs, but more experienced  handlers are welcome to join. This course is not designed for competitive agility.  

​

This is NOT a class for doggies with aggressive behavior. I offer private sessions to address aggression to enable you and your dog to participate in group classes. Dogs must be at least 4 months old, in good health, and fine with other dogs and people.  

 

What we will cover: Verbal and hand signals, Break, Jumping, Tunnel, Weave, Pause Box, Tire Jump, A-Frame, and other apparatus.  

 

What is required from you:  Have an open mind, be willing to put in the work and have fun.  Family members are welcome as long as there is one primary handler who is committed to coming to all the classes.  Children must be under your control.
