This class is for small breed puppies 3-11 and large breed puppies 3-8 months of age. The class is is designed for puppies and handlers to build their relationship by having fun becoming familiar with basic agility equipment used in AKC Agility... all while having tons of FUN! 

Although this should not be considered as an AKC competitive agility skills class, it is great for building a puppy’s confidence and body awareness. All jumps are lowered/used appropriate for your bouncy little puppy.  This is not a competitve Agility class.

NOTE: If this is your puppy's 1st time attending MDTC classes,  owners/handlers are required to bring the puppy's current vaccination records to the first class. All puppies MUST have received at least the 2nd round of DHPP (distemper, adenovirus [hepatitis], parainfluenza, and parvovirus) before attend the 1st class. Rabies vaccination is MANDATORY for all puppies 16 weeks or older per Virginia State Law.  Leptospirosis (Lepto), Bordetella (Kennel Cough), and Giardia vaccinations are not required to attend class. Please consult your licensed Veterinarian for additional questions or concerns.
