Foundations of agility Series: [email protected]
we have updated our foundations of agility series of classes!
The program includes four 8 week classes and is designed for you and your dog to move through the series at your own pace with its performance-based criteria. It will teach you and your dog all of the obstacles along with tactics and techniques you can use to move your team to success on the agility field.
The series also now affords you to learn from four different, highly accomplished instructors as you move through the series, each bringing their style, insight and experience to you.
Each class is $125.00 per 8 weeks (there are four classes in the series).
The entire series takes place on Thursday nights with the following schedule:
