What:	NEXT › ‹ PREVIOUS Agility is a fun sport for you and your dog! Agility is about the most fun you can have with your dog! In Introduction to Agility dogs will be introduced to many of the obstacles in agility such as jumps, tunnel, chute, and open weaves, in a safe and controlled manner. The skills needed to successfully negotiate the obstacles will be worked on weekly. Attention, focus and motivation will be practiced as the team builds confidence in an atmosphere that centers on learning skills while having fun. By the end of this class the dogs will have a good working knowledge of many of the obstacles (the A-frame, teeter, and the dogwalk will not be completed but we will begin shaping correct contact skills). We learn on grass in a fenced, field with good lighting. Prerequisite -Obedience Class such as Focus Foundation,or at instructor's discretion.
