12:00pm: Beginner-Novice Skills

This class is for dogs and handlers newer to the fun sport of agility, and have completed the Intro to Agility classes 1 & 2. We will continue to work the obstacles individually, making sure that your dogs feel confident on the equipment and have the correct performance. Plan on rewarding often, bring toys that you can hide treats in, and tug toys as well.
