Pre-Agility Class

Agility Fundamentals and Focus when off leash

Class Goals:

The focus of this class is on strengthening the ability of the Canine Good Citizen dog’s ability to obey off-leash. Positive reinforcement techniques are applied to teach the basic control commands of agility and to negotiate miniature and partial agility obstacles. Dogs learn directional controls and targeting. The focus of this class is building confidence on the obstacles and establishing recognition of contact zones. Dogs will also learn to work off leash in the presence of other dogs. This class can and should be repeated as needed until dog reaches class goals. This class is held indoors at our Youngsville location.
