4. Toys you can toss and/or tug
5. Water for you and your dog
6. A crate for your dog is recommended but not required
What should I wear to class?
1. Comfortable clothing
2. Comfortable shoes (preferably athletic shoes)
What if my dog is aggressive?
1. You may need private lessons to work on behavioral issues before you can join a class. If you are not sure, please send an email so we can set up an evaluation session.
What if I have to cancel a private lesson?
1. You may cancel a private lesson with 24 hours notice. After that you will be charged the full fee.
How do I know which class to start in?
1. If you have a puppy or a dog you would like to start in some basic obedience and/or a dog you plan to do agility with, you should start in Beginning Dog Skills. This class focuses on basic obedience as well as the builiding blocks for more advanced skills. The class will be divided up by skill level and interest. If you are interested in agility, we will also introduce the equipment during this class.
2. If you are already competing or are getting ready to compete and you would like to learn a clear and consistent method of handling, you should start in Novice Handling.
3. If you are already familiar with how and when to properly execute the various crosses and handling maneuvers you may want to start in Masters Handling.
Why can’t my dog wear a choke collar?
1. It is very dangerous for your dog to wear a choke collar while agility training.
2. Choke dollars are highly demoralizing to dogs and we are working on creating a highly motivated, energetic dog who loves life!
