Beginner Class
6:00pm - 7:15pm
Our Beginner Class is designed for dogs aged 12 months and over who have a foundation in basic obedience, including a reliable wait and recall.
This class introduces both dog and handler to core agility obstacles such as Jumps, Tunnels, Hoops, Weave Poles, the A‑Frame/Scramble, and the Dog walk.
Dogs learn obstacle focus, confidence, and safe navigation skills while handlers develop clear communication and teamwork. This is the perfect starting point for teams new to agility or transitioning from foundation skills.
Intermediate Class
7:15pm -8:00pm
In the Intermediate Class, dogs and their handlers begin developing the handling skills needed to negotiate short agility sequences. These skills form the handler’s toolbox, giving them the ability to guide their dog accurately and efficiently through a course.
Teams build on their foundation work, learning timing, communication, and movement techniques that prepare them for more complex challenges ahead.
Advanced Class
7:15pm -8:00pm
In the Advanced Class, dogs and handlers fine‑tune their skills and put them into action in longer, more complex sequences. Dogs learn to work with greater independence, while handlers develop the ability to guide their dog confidently from a distance.
This level strengthens teamwork, timing, and strategic handling, preparing teams for competition‑level challenges.
Trialling Class
8:00pm -8:45pm
The Trialling Class gives teams the opportunity to practice their skills in a realistic competition environment. Dogs and handlers work through full courses, refine their timing, and build confidence under trial‑like conditions.This class focuses on consistency, teamwork, and preparing teams to step into the competition ring feeling ready and supported.
