This class is not appropriate for beginner dogs. However, it is not required that handlers have competed in an AKC Agility Trial. This class will include both abbreviated Standard and Jumpers with Weaves agility courses so that by the end of the session participants will have had an opportunity to encounter all the obstacles and maneuvers necessary to compete at the Novice level. We will focus on the performance requirements of each obstacle plus the groundwork and handling necessary to move between them.  The dog must be competent and confident on all agility equipment and should be moving easily through weaves and over the teeter.  Instructors will also cover steps to participate in your first agility trial (i.e. how to fill out an entry form, how to check in, how to get your dog's height measurement, etc.) and will be available to answer any questions.  

Pre-requisites: Dog and handler must have successfully completed and passed MDTC's Agility Foundation & Groundwork 103 or other advanced level Agility classes. If the dog is not capable of performing the contact equipment they must repeat MDTC's Agility Foundation & Groundwork 103.  

Dogs also must have completed and passed MDTC’S Basic Obedience and Intermediate Obedience classes and be able to work reliably off leash.  They must be able to respond to the commands of sit, stay and come. Please contact MDTC's Training Director or instructor to confirm if your dog is eligible or for additional details.
