Please review our Covid-19 training class policies before attending your first class.

Instructor: Cassidy Gresham

Prerequisite: completed Agility A or equivalent

Agility B is an agility class for dogs and handlers who have experience on agility equipment and want additional exposure and practice. Dogs and handlers will learn or review basic handling skills, practice short sequences of obstacles, and polish equipment skills. Dog agility is a sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. It’s great fun for both dog and handler and is a wonderful way to bond with your canine companion.

All dogs must be one year or older and current on vaccinations. Spaying or neutering is strongly recommended.

Eight-week, one-hour class in Track & Training Center. All sessions are with dogs. $180.
