Come join us for some agility fun! This class is designed for those who have some experience in running agility courses already. We’ll set up different courses for you to try out each week to help you achieve your agility goals. Dogs must be able to work off leash and run an agility course.

PREREQUISITES: Must have “Agility – Level 3” (or equivalent), some ‘run’ experience AND the ability to string together a full course of obstacles.

Depending on registration numbers, the class will be divided into two or three groups. These groups will rotate throughout the 6-week session, with a different group attending each week. The total number of sessions each group receives will depend on how many groups are formed.
Once registration is complete and the number of groups is finalized, the Agility Class Coordinator will assign specific dates/cost for each group.
