Keep Feb. 21 and 28 open as bad weather make-up days.
AGILITY LITE I:
Introduce your dog to the sport of agility! In this five-week-long "just for fun" class, your dog will learn to navigate weave poles and tunnels, stroll on the dog walk, climb the A-Frame and execute agility and tire jumps.
AGILITY LITE II :
Continue refining your skills on the weave poles and regular tunnel; we'll introduce the teeter and collapsed tunnel in this class. We'll continue working the dog walk, A-frame, and will add wing and long jumps in addition to the bar and tire jumps.
*** COMBO CLASS ***
THURSDAYS, 2:15 PM, five sessions, starting January 17
This class meets indoors at the Red Barn Kennels.
Keep Feb. 21 and 28 open as bad weather make-up days.
Interested in trying out several different activities with your dog? Then this is the class for you!
We will be doing some scent work (nose works light) which builds on and develops your dog's natural ability to smell and search. Our dogs will learn several new tricks; this is a great way to teach your dog how to learn new cues in a fun manner. We'll also have the opportunity to see how agile our dogs are by introducing them to the sport of agility and hoopers, which is a great sport for older dogs.
