Agility Workshop: Let’s play FAST!

July 31st, 2024
Wednesday 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

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

Instructor: Sandi Pitini

Let’s play FAST! We will use the AKC game FAST for this course, where the handler will send the dog across a short sequence from a distance. A tape on the floor will show the desired distance from the obstacles for the handler to attempt. This is a fun game and will challenge you to get distance and efficient turns with your dog. Dogs should be comfortable taking jumps independently and doing at least 3-4 obstacles in a sequence. There may be contacts and weaves on the course but we will not be training those.

These working spots are for one handler and one dog.

2-hour workshop in Track & Training Center. $45.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

We rarely cancel class due to inclement weather. If we're experiencing a significant weather event (snow, ice, etc.), we will make every effort to contact participants at least an hour and a half prior to class start time in the event that we have to cancel class.

CANCELLATION / REFUND POLICY

Registrations that are cancelled seven or more days prior to the start of class will be refunded in full. Registrations cancelled with fewer than seven days notice will not be refunded and we will not offer credit toward future sessions for missed classes.
