Agility Foundations

$150 | 6 weeks

New classes start regularly

A fun, beginner-friendly introduction to dog agility focused on confidence, teamwork, and engagement.

Agility Foundations is designed to help dogs and owners build stronger communication skills while introducing the basics of agility equipment and movement in a safe, supportive environment. Whether your goal is future sport work or simply finding a productive outlet for your dog’s energy, this class focuses on creating confident dogs who enjoy learning and working alongside their handler.

No prior sport experience is necessary.

Throughout the program, we focus on:

Confidence around new obstacles and environments
Body awareness and coordination
Handler engagement and teamwork
Recall and focus around distractions
Foundational agility movements and obstacle introduction
Building motivation through play and rewards
Strengthening the bond between dog and owner
Creating positive learning experiences for dogs of all personalities

Classes are designed to keep training approachable and fun while helping dogs build confidence, problem-solving skills, and stronger teamwork with their handler (because sometimes the best way to create a calmer dog is to give their little velociraptor brain a job.)

Agility Foundations is perfect for:

High-energy dogs needing a productive outlet
Shy dogs who benefit from confidence-building exercises
Dogs who enjoy learning and problem solving
Owners looking for a fun activity to do with their dog
Dogs interested in future sport training
Anyone wanting to strengthen communication and teamwork with their dog

This class is open to beginner dogs and handlers with no prior agility experience required.

About AKC Titles

Our group classes are designed to prepare dogs for official AKC titles like STAR Puppy, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and Trick Dog — but all dogs are welcome, regardless of registration status. Every dog can benefit from the structure, focus, and confidence these classes build, whether or not they’re pursuing a title.

What They Mean:
AKC titles are awarded by the American Kennel Club to recognize dogs who demonstrate solid obedience, good manners, and a strong bond with their owners. These titles showcase your dog’s training achievements and open doors to future opportunities like therapy work or performance sports.

Who’s Eligible:
Every dog can train toward an AKC title — purebred or mixed breed.

AKC Registered Dogs are automatically eligible to test for official titles at graduation.
Mixed Breeds or Non-Registered Dogs can still qualify by enrolling in the AKC Canine Partners Program, which allows all dogs to earn official AKC recognition for their hard work.

Why It Matters:
Earning an AKC title isn’t just about a certificate — it’s proof of teamwork, reliability, and real-world good behavior. Whether you’re training for fun, building a stronger bond, or working toward advanced goals, these classes give every dog the chance to succeed.

🧠 If your dog isn’t AKC registered, we can help you complete the Canine Partners enrollment before testing so you don’t miss out on earning your title!
