Agility Go the Distance

September 30 – November 18, 2019 (no classes held October 28)
Mondays at 6:00 p.m.

Instructor: Sarah Babcock

Prerequisite: completed Agility B or equivalent, handlers should be familiar with agility obstacles and have basic handling skills- dogs should have good off-leash focus and be comfortable with small jumps, tunnels and the agility table

Interested in helping your dog learn to work more independently and at a greater distance? Interested in having more success with FAST and Gamblers type games classes? This might be the class for you. We will work on building your dog’s confidence at working away from you on individual pieces of agility equipment (jumps, tunnels, contacts, weaves) and in short sequences. Success will depend on your dog’s current skill levels and your ability to do both in-class and at-home exercises. Dogs and handlers should be familiar with all agility obstacles and with basic handling (currently in Agility C or equivalent).

All dogs must be 6 months or older and current on vaccinations. Spaying or neutering is strongly recommended.

Seven-week, one-hour class in Track & Training Center
