Agility Fundamentals II - Dog Obedience Group
7 sessions, one hour per week $140.00

Like it's prerequisite, Agility Fundamentals I, this class emphasizes motivational games and clicker training to build teamwork and focus. Your dog will progress at his own rate in learning to perform the more challenging obstacles voluntarily and independently with speed and accuracy. You will learn basic handler movements to direct your dog through the course. And, you will both learn to work together as a team, having fun the whole time. No dog or handler will be forced to work beyond their level of preparedness. Our approach relies on helping the dog "figure it out", gaining confidence and independence before progressing to the next step in learning. Requirements: Rabies vaccination or titers.
