Get involved in a fun new sport with your dog!
Agility training is a great way to bond with your dog, build confidence, and gain new skills in a low-pressure, fun environment. Join us in Mead, CO for one of the following 6-week courses.
All classes require you bring your own crate. This can be any type of crate, though I do recommend a collapsible crate for ease of transport (example here). You’ll want to make sure your dog is comfortable in the crate prior to class. If you need information on crate training, here is a starting resource.
Class Offerings:
Foundations 1
For dogs and owners who want a solid foundation in agility training. We will teach flatwork and introduce the various obstacles with their proper techniques. Dogs will work one at a time off-leash, and the other dogs will be crated while not working. There will be homework for you to work on each week. This class is meant for those who are looking to continue on with agility.

FAQ
- I’m going to miss a class during the session. Can I pay for just 5 of the 6 classes?
- You will need to pay the full cost of the session, even if you are going to miss a class.
- What happens if I miss a class? Can I schedule a make-up?
- I can’t offer make-up classes, so please do try to come to all the classes in the session.
- We’ve done some agility before, but it’s been a while. What level do you think is best for us?
- If you’ve done any obstacle sequencing, you can join the Foundations 2 course. If you need a refresher on the obstacles, I recommend the Foundations 1 course. It’s always good to practice the foundations!
- Can I use an E-collar in agility?
- We don’t use e-collars in agility. We are teaching new skills and behaviors, which is done through positive reinforcement. We don’t correct dogs for making mistakes, and we encourage dogs to offer different types of behaviors on their own.
