AGILITY
Agility
is a sport for all dogs -- purebred or mix, pet or competition, large or small,
young or old.
In Agility, your dog learns to run
a course which includes such activities as:
|
·
Going through tunnels
·
Jumping a variety of
obstacles
·
Climbing
|
·
Walking on planks
·
Walking across moving
obstacles
·
Weaving through a
series of poles
|
Agility builds dogs’ confidence,
stimulates their minds, strengthens their bodies, and enhances their enjoyment
of life.
Here at
DIXIE'S,
Agility is taught
positively
and
safely
using the "click and treat" method and targeting. Additionally, Agility classes
are designed to maximize your dog's safety and prevent injury.
All
Agility classes are 7 weeks long and cost is $75 per class.
Beginner Agility
In
Beginner Agility, we will introduce the standard American Kennel Club (AKC) and
United Kennel Club (UKC) Agility equipment plus some basic handling skills. It
is designed for fun and lays the groundwork for future competition.
Prerequisite: None. However, it will help if your dog can sit and down on
command, walk calmly on leash, and has a reliable recall.
Competition Agility
picks up
where Beginner Agility left off:
·
Working on
the different obstacles
·
Putting the
obstacles into sequences.
Prerequisite: Beginner Agility. For dogs that have already started agility
training, each handler/dog team will be evaluated and the appropriate class will
be determined.
DIXIE’S
also offers several other services that will allow you and your dog to practice
your new Agility skills.
·
