BEGINNING AGILITY CLASSES

Are You and Your Dog Ready?

The beginning agility classes teach familiarization with all agility obstacles. To enroll in a WLAOTC beginning agility class, a dog must be at least six months old and have the ability to Sit, Down, Come, and Stay. We highly recommend enrolling your dog in a novice obedience class before attempting agility.

Before the day of the first class, your dog will be tested on his/her ability to come when called while off-leash and behavior when near other excited dogs. We don't expect perfection. Agility is an exciting sport for both dogs and handlers, and all dogs will occasionally be too excited to pay attention. But a dog that is not under control most of the time is not ready to do agility. If your dog fails the test, we will return your check and suggest that you enroll your dog in a novice obedience class before attempting an agility class.

Important: Handlers are required to help with equipment moves and tear downs.

How to Enroll

Our beginning classes are held on Thursdays or Saturdays, usually at 4:00 pm and cost $120 for 8 one-hour classes. The trainer is Danielle Dumais.

We start new beginning classes two or three times each year. We do not take registrations in advance, but will notify those interested by email when we have scheduled new classes. If you would like to be notified, you must fill out the Agility Notification List form below. Enrollment is done on a first-come, first-served basis as space is limited. We do not know when we will be able to offer new beginning classes. . For more information, please email Agility Classes

CONTINUING AGILITY CLASSES

WLAOTC occasionally has space in our more advanced agility classes. We welcome students from other programs, although consent of the trainer is required. Classes are held on Thursdays and Saturdays during daylight hours. If you would like to be on a list to be considered for an open space, you must fill out the Agility Notification List form below. Include a description of your dog's level of training and experience in agility. For more information, please email Agility Classes.
