Fun with Fido! Introduction to Agility and Rally Obedience

A-Frame
Bar Jump
Tire Jump

OK, so you've mastered the basics and now you want to have some fun!

This class focuses on the lighter side of life with your dog:
  • Introduction to agility, including:
    • Tire jump
    • Bar jumps
    • A-frame
    • Pause table
    • Tunnel
    • Chute
    • Teeter-totter (aka the "see-saw")
    Please note:
    • Dogs of all sizes can take agility, as the equipment is easily adjusted to your dog's height
    • We only use competition-level equipment so your dog gets used to the real thing in case you want to move on to the next level.

  • Introduction to rally obedience, where we set up a course full of cones, each of which has a sign with instructions that your dog needs to follow before advancing to the next cone. It's an effective and fun way to hone your dog's obedience skills.
