Foundation class
Tuesday | 7:15pm
Foundation agility is for those handlers/dogs new to agility. This class puts the focus of having fun while you and your dog are learning lots of new skills. In this class we will introduce jumps and tunnels, and also show you some important skills you will need to work on at home. These include skills your dog will need for the contact obstacles (dogwalk, seesaw and A-frame). |
Level 1
Tuesday | 6:15pm
In level 1 we will work on some handling skills that will enable you to guide your dog around an agility course. We also introduce your dog to other obstacles they will see on a beginner course at a competition (hoops, long jumps and blind jumps). We also progress with the contact skills you learnt in the foundation class. |
Level 2
Thursday | 7.30pm Lots of learning happens in level 2 where we step up our training. Your dog will start learning to weave and begin contact training on a dogwalk. We also introduce more complex handling moves and longer course sequences. Towards the end of this level you may be at the stage where you could enter a jumpers course at a competition. |
Level 3
Thursday | 7.30pmThis is where it all starts to come together. Weave training progresses to learning to weave 12 poles and your dog will be running the length of the dogwalk. A-frame training begins at level 3 and sequences increase in length. You will also be given the opportunity to run one or two full length beginner courses towards the end of the term.

Competition class
Thursday | 6.15pm
