We offer classes for dogs and handlers of all ages and skill
levels. Our trainers are trained and certified. All use positive
motivational techniques based on animal behavioral research and
best practices.
Begin with a Beginner agility class. Then advance to a Novice class.
If you are already competing in agility, enroll in one of our advanced
classes for dogs competing at the open or excellent level. If you
prefer team sports, try a class in fly ball (a four dog team relay
event).
We offer daytime Beginner II, Novice, Open and Advanced classes Wednesdays and Thursdays. There are no Beginner I daytime classes. Please feel welcome to contact us about the daytime schedule; we will be glad to answer your questions and enroll you in a class.
All of our classes meet once a week for 8 weeks/classes and cost $96.00. Classes start new sessions every 8 weeks so call 317-781-7782 to find out when a class will start a new 8-week session. We limit the number of student/dog teams in our classes so we ask everyone to pre-enroll. To secure a place in a class, we need a competed enrollment form and a check for the full cost of the 8-week session. When we receive these items we will confirm your enrollment via e-mail. |

This class is designed for those new to dog training and to agility and for those who are unsure if their dog will succeed at/enjoy this dog sport. We also suggest you begin with Pre-Agility, if you have not already trained a dog for a competitive dog sport.
This class is NOT a substitute for basic obedience. We assume your dog already knows the basics.
You and your dog will strengthen your working relationship by using all of the basic obedience skills to learn the foundation skills for the sport of agility. A strong working relationship between the handler and his/her dog is essential to learn and enjoy Agility. |
