Acme Canine: Agility workshop

This workshop is an introduction to the fun sport of Agility for both the owner and his dog.  Agility success is truly about teamwork.  While it is important for you to understand that your dog will be doing lots of physical activity, our goal is for both you and your dog to HAVE FUN.  Our class will introduce dogs to the obstacles used in the sport, while developing strong handler’s body language.  We have adjustable obstacles which are
adaptable to all attendees.


• Your dog must have an obedience foundation to participate in agility.  There is a lot of time spent off leash so your dog needs to understand SIT, STAY, and COME.
• No aggression will be permitted, because there will be other dogs on the course.  If your dog is shy, nervous or reserved, the sport of agility can help to build their confidence and increase their trust in you.


The sessions will be held at our training facility at 1385 Franklin St., Lewis Center.   The fee is $100 for each session with a limit of 6 dogs  for each session.


Session 2 - July 24 10am - noon
The first hour will be a short re-introduction to each obstacle, progressing to 2-3 obstacle sequences.  The second hour will be longer sequences with a focus on body language and timing.
