You may be able to join a class already in progress with additional private instruction.

Fun and Focus 1 and 2:

Fun and Focus classes are very popular here at Dog’s World.  These are our “pre-agility” classes, and are suitable for those dogs who have completed Puppy Kindergarten, or Pet Dog Obedience 1 or higher.  Dogs learn to navigate wobbly boards, are taught to walk through ladders and other objects that help develop body awareness, and also learn lots of other fun games that help lay a solid foundation for obedience, agility, or rally, later in training.

Agility Beginner:

Our agility foundation classes are where you and your dog are introduced to safe and fun obstacle performance, as well as to the basics of handling your dog around an agility course.  The focus is on FUN! BEFORE ENROLLING IN THESE CLASSES PLEASE CONTACT OUR TRAINING DIRECTOR FOR AVAILABILITY! You may be able to join a class already in progress with additional private lessons from our instructors.

Agility Intermediate:

If you’re “almost” ready to compete, but still need to polish your skills, then you’re ready to move from Agility Beginner in to our beginning competition class.  The focus is on a continuation of learning handling and obstacle skills, while also learning just what you’ll need to compete in your first trial, and where to go from there!

Agility Competition Level:

Our agility competition level classes are for those handlers and dogs who are actively competing at either the Open/Advanced or Excellent/Master’s level.  Trainer approval is required to join, but dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome!  Contact us about joining.
