Beginner Agility
Sold out
Tuesday 5pm
Every new sport, for fun or competition, has a start - and for dog agility, the Beginner Agility class is the exciting introduction to where it all begins! Here, canine and human students will learn the concepts of agility training and handling in a fun and rewarding environment. In the Beginner Agility class, dogs must work nearby other dog/handlers, and this requires that the dog has had basic obedience or manners training as a prerequisite. Dogs will learn how to shape and perform obstacles safely, with both the dog and handler learning to work together as a team. Dog/handler teams will increase connection and a dog’s confidence. Lessons may include crate training, body awareness, and targeting, and also introductory use of equipment: jumps (low or no bars), tunnels, tires, weave poles, teeter, and more.
Prerequisite: Canine Manners class at Kruisin' Kanines or similar basic training, puppy class, or obedience background. Dogs should be proficient with basic commands. Teams must be able to work reliably and safely off-leash for brief periods of time. Teams should have a positive attitude and be prepared to practice some skills at home.

Upon completion of Beginner/Intro Agility, this first level Foundation agility class introduces dogs and handlers to spatial orientation, driving forward, movement and body awareness, and further introduction to agility equipment.

This class provides the building blocks that will serve in a strong agility foundation.
