We employ techniques that have been proven to be the most effective in teaching your dogs to perform each obstacle found on an agility course. In this series of ​classes all dogs will be working on lead. The focus of this class will be on performance of each agility obstacle. Contact obstacles will begin at lower heights for safety as they learn how to negotiate each obstacle. The contacts will gradually be raised up with the goal of full height on each obstacle. ​ Criteria for Advancement: Demonstrated ability to perform each of the obstacles with minimal supervision and coaching. Basic obedience skills, such as sit, down, stay and come will be ​tested and must be performed to a satisfactory level before progressing.
