Learn how to be successful in this fast paced dog sport. All of our agility classes are held at Sirius Ranch in Palmer we use positive reinforcement training methods to teach your dog this sport in a safe and fun way. Our classes are geared to those who want to compete and will give you the proper foundation skills to be successful. If your dog has lots of energy, loves to run and jump and is food or toy motivated this might be a great fit for your dog.
Our agility classes are open to any breed! Due to the nature of the facility and how our classes are run we cannot accept dogs into group classes who are fearful of new situations, loud noise, other dogs or people or who are reactive/aggressive towards other dogs or people. Dogs coming to our agility classes must be able to work off leash and have a solid recall, no desire to run after or visit dogs working in the opposing ring and be able to focus on their handlers despite many distractions.
If your dog is unable to do all of those things or you are unsure if they can we can set up a private lesson to target those things while also learning agility.
Our group agility classes are taught by both Reesa and James and are set up to give you plenty to work on in between your turn out in the main ring. We are very safety conscious and in our beginning classes we only have one dog working off leash at a time, all other dogs are kept behind a barrier working on tasks that are easy to accomplish while on leash. This sets everyone up for success and makes sure all dogs can have a positive experience in class. This also mirrors the competition environment.
