What is Beginner Agility?
Beginner Agility is the next class after Foundation Agility. Foundation Agility is a prerequisite and must be taken before enrollment in this Beginner Agility class.
In Beginner Agility you will begin running sequences and work towards AKC Novice and Open level courses in both Standard and Jumpers With Weaves. This class is designed to be ongoing. Students can re-enroll in this class over and over and each week we continue to work on new exercises to build your skills at this level. All obstacles in agility will be worked on. In addition to the dog learning the obstacles you will also learn how to walk a course and how to choose the best path to navigate it so as to lead the dog through the course in an accurate and safe manner.
