Intro to Dog Sports

Want to do something fun with your dog and just not sure what? Want to start a dog sport but do not yet have the prerequisite skills? Try our Intro to Dog Sports class.

Intro to Dog Sports

Prerequisites: Good understanding of and the ability to perform all the basics (sit, down, stay, walk on a loose leash, come, etc.) Try our Fundamental Obedience class if you need to work on these skills.
Ability to pay attention to, stay and work with their handler in a dog class. If not, we would again recommend our Fundamental Obedience class.
Ability to stay and be comfortable in a crate. You will need a crate for this class – a crate you can carry and set up in the classroom by yourself. Contact us if you need help finding one. We will also help your dog settle and relax in his/her crate in a classroom situation.
Be ready to bring a mat, disc, low platform, etc. – something large enough for your dog to stand on.
If you have a reactive dog, we suggest you work to control this issue, before starting a dog sport. Unfortunately this class is not designed to help with reactivity. However, we can help through private lessons.

In this class you and your dog will practice your basic skills with distractions that occur with dog sports, learn prerequisite skills for starting any dog sports, begin to condition the dogs body for dog sports and experience each of the dog sports we offer classes for. We also ask you to keep your dog in his/her crate when the dog is not working just as in a dog sports competition.

In addition you will learn about each sport, competition venues, a few rules and regulations and how to get started in the sport you want to try. We offer classes in Competition Obedience, Rally Obedience, Flyball, Treiball, Scent/Nosework and Agility. After this class you should be ready to start the dog sport you choose.

Classes
