Agility Courses
starting May 14th April, 6.30-7.30pm
Class runs for 6 weeks – $220.50 (incl. GST) – max. 6 dogs
This class is for dogs who are familiar with all of the equipment (it’s o.k. if dogs are still learning the weaves). Focus is on running longer sequences up to full courses (standard, jumpers, gamblers, snooker) while improving your handling and timing through guided course walking. We teach and practice OneMind Dogs handling; dogs already understand body language and it’s our job to make reading the course easy for them!
