Clicker training will be explained and introduced, we will incorporate several fun "training games" - where your dog is playing and learning at the same time. You will have fun with your dog while learning the basics of the sport and developing "ground skills" that your team will need to understand prior to introducing jumps and other agility equipment.

Dogs should be 10+ months old and have a basic understanding of sit, down, stay, and come when called and be comfortable in their crate during demos and exercise explanations. We will do further work on these skills in the foundation class to increase their reliability.

If you are planning to signup, please contact us for enrollment forms and send them in ASAP as these classes often will fill very quickly. *some dogs may be enrolled at younger age with instructor permission.
