It is also essential that dogs participating in agility classes are able to obey their owners off-leash and be around other dogs without showing aggression. For this reason, we highly recommend the Advanced CGC class as a Pre-Requisite for all dogs. We require Canine Good Citizen certification prior to enrollment in all classes. The focus of this class is on strengthening the ability of the Canine Good Citizen dog's ability to obey off-leash. Positive reinforcement techniques are applied to teach the basic control commands of agility and to negotiate miniature and partial agility obstacles.
Dogs learn directional controls and targeting.
The focus of this class is building confidence on the obstacles and establishing recognition of contact zones. Dogs will also learn to work off leash in the presence of other dogs. This class is held indoors. Dogs MUST have a Canine Good Citizen title and must not have aggression issues with well-mannered dogs. Dogs should be at least 10 months age, of a healthy weight, and without health problems.
