  • THE PLACE FOR DOG SPORTS IN INDIANAPOLIS

We offer classes for dogs and handlers of all ages and skill levels. Our trainers are trained and certified. All use positive motivational techniques based on animal behavioral research and best practices.

Begin with a Beginner agility class. Then advance to a Novice class. If you are already competing in agility, enroll in one of our advanced classes for dogs competing at the open or excellent level. If you prefer team sports, try a class in fly ball (a four dog team relay event).

We offer daytime Beginner II, Novice, Open and Advanced classes Wednesdays and Thursdays. There are no Beginner I daytime classes. Please feel welcome to contact us about the daytime schedule; we will be glad to answer your questions and enroll you in a class.

Pre-Agility

  • Over 6 months
  • All vaccinations
  • Vet certification as able to participate in agility. Be sure to talk with your vet to make sure your dog is physically fit for strenuous athletic activity.

Prerequisites: To start PreAgility class your dog should know all the basic skills. In addition the dog must be able to focus, pay attention to and work for the handler, not running off to visit other dogs or people. The dog should be able to do these skills off leash in a class with other dogs and people working nearby.

Classes

All of our classes meet for 8 week/classes sessions and cost $130.00 for all 8 classes.

Please refer to the class schedule to see when this class meets.

In our PreAgility classes you and your dog learn fundamental agility skills and are introduced to obstacles such as tunnels, jumps, small dog walk, low teeter, and beginning weaves. The handler also learns basic handling skills allowing him/her to guide the dog through the course.

In addition we will simulate the situation your dog will see at an agility trial, agility seminar and in future agility classes. Because the handler will need to leave his/her dog to walk courses, attend trial briefings and listen to instructor explanations, PreAgility dogs will stay in crates and learn to remain quiet.

Beyond-the-Basics

Prerequisites: A class for dogs and puppies – 6 months and older puppies and dogs. This class is sequential after Basic Obedience, or Puppy classes and open to dogs who already have solid basic skills learned elsewhere or at home.

Classes

All of our classes meet for 8 week/classes sessions and cost $130.00 for all 8 classes.

Please refer to the class schedule to see when this class meets.

In this class dogs will review, practice and expand their skills as well as learn new skills in order to be prepared to participate in a dog sport and/or become a well mannered and fun to be with companion.We will perfect old skills and teach new ones with games and exciting active activities.

We will teach platform/cato board and targeting skills used in most dogs sports or used for good manners or fun show-off tricks at home.

Crate training will also be a part of this class. This means your dog has a SAFE, secure spot to relax, recoup and hang out when you are absent or busy at trials and at home. And we will also perfect the skill of being able to just sit or down and stay quietly by your side.

A strong reliable recall taught in this class is an essential skill critical for the safety of your dog at home or competing. We will emphasize this life-saving skill.

Most dogs love to jump. We will teach and expand this skill in preparation for agility, competition obedience Rally, flyball or just for some extra fun while walking or hiking or playing in the yard.

When I think of something fun to do with my dog I always first think of fetch. Fetch is now a new AKC dog sport. In this class dogs will learn to fetch for this new dog sport or other dog sports ir just for hours of fun at home indoors or out.

In addition to these multipurpose skills we will introduce and let you try two additional dog sports, Scent/Nosework and Trieball.

Join us for some new skills and lots of fun “Beyond the Basics”.

Beginner I Agility

  • Over 6 months
  • All vaccinations
  • Vet certification as able to participate in agility. Be sure to talk with your vet to make sure your dog is physically fit for strenuous athletic activity.

The training requirements for enrollment for Beginner I classes include all of the skills learned in Pre-Agility. This class will be easier and more enjoyable if your dog will stay with you when working off leash and can work with you with distractions. We also find that dogs do better if they have already developed a working relationship with their handler. If you do not as yet have these skills, we encourage you to take our Pre-Agility class. We also suggest you begin with Pre-Agility, if you have not already trained a dog for a competitive dog sport.

Classes

All of our classes meet for 8 week/classes sessions and cost $130.00 for all 8 classes.

Enrollments for Beginner I will be accepted in a PreAgility 2 class or after an email or phone consultation (317-439-2889) has been completed.
