  • THE PLACE FOR DOG SPORTS IN INDIANAPOLIS

Agility Class List

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.

Pre-Agility

  • Over 6 months
  • All vaccinations
  • Vet certification as able to participate in agility. Be sure to talk with your vet to make sure your dog is physically fit for strenuous athletic activity.

Prerequisites: To start PreAgility class your dog should know all the basic skills. In addition the dog must be able to focus, pay attention to and work for the handler, not running off to visit other dogs or people. The dog should be able to do these skills off leash in a class with other dogs and people working nearby.

Classes

All of our classes meet for 8 week/classes sessions and cost $130.00 for all 8 classes.

Please refer to the class schedule to see when this class meets.

In our PreAgility classes you and your dog learn fundamental agility skills and are introduced to obstacles such as tunnels, jumps, small dog walk, low teeter, and beginning weaves. The handler also learns basic handling skills allowing him/her to guide the dog through the course.

In addition we will simulate the situation your dog will see at an agility trial, agility seminar and in future agility classes. Because the handler will need to leave his/her dog to walk courses, attend trial briefings and listen to instructor explanations, PreAgility dogs will stay in crates and learn to remain quiet.

Beginner I Agility

  • Over 6 months
  • All vaccinations
  • Vet certification as able to participate in agility. Be sure to talk with your vet to make sure your dog is physically fit for strenuous athletic activity.

The training requirements for enrollment for Beginner I classes include all of the skills learned in Pre-Agility. This class will be easier and more enjoyable if your dog will stay with you when working off leash and can work with you with distractions. We also find that dogs do better if they have already developed a working relationship with their handler. If you do not as yet have these skills, we encourage you to take our Pre-Agility class. We also suggest you begin with Pre-Agility, if you have not already trained a dog for a competitive dog sport.

Classes

All of our classes meet for 8 week/classes sessions and cost $130.00 for all 8 classes.

Enrollments for Beginner I will be accepted in a PreAgility 2 class or after an email or phone consultation (317-439-2889) has been completed.

Please refer to the class schedule to see when this class meets.

Intro to Dog Sports

Want to do something fun with your dog and just not sure what? Want to start a dog sport but do not yet have the prerequisite skills? Try our Intro to Dog Sports class.

Intro to Dog Sports

Prerequisites: Good understanding of and the ability to perform all the basics (sit, down, stay, walk on a loose leash, come, etc.) Try our Fundamental Obedience class if you need to work on these skills.
Ability to pay attention to, stay and work with their handler in a dog class. If not, we would again recommend our Fundamental Obedience class.
Ability to stay and be comfortable in a crate. You will need a crate for this class – a crate you can carry and set up in the classroom by yourself. Contact us if you need help finding one. We will also help your dog settle and relax in his/her crate in a classroom situation.
Be ready to bring a mat, disc, low platform, etc. – something large enough for your dog to stand on.
If you have a reactive dog, we suggest you work to control this issue, before starting a dog sport. Unfortunately this class is not designed to help with reactivity. However, we can help through private lessons.

In this class you and your dog will practice your basic skills with distractions that occur with dog sports, learn prerequisite skills for starting any dog sports, begin to condition the dogs body for dog sports and experience each of the dog sports we offer classes for. We also ask you to keep your dog in his/her crate when the dog is not working just as in a dog sports competition.

In addition you will learn about each sport, competition venues, a few rules and regulations and how to get started in the sport you want to try. We offer classes in Competition Obedience, Rally Obedience, Flyball, Treiball, Scent/Nosework and Agility. After this class you should be ready to start the dog sport you choose.

All of our classes meet for 8 week/classes sessions and cost $130.00 for all 8 classes.
