More Agility Puzzles Description:

This class is an ongoing opportunity to "get on equipment" and play with your dog. Agility equipment remains low Handlers will learn good communication skills to direct their dog through simple sequences. Puzzles can and will include actual agility equipment, distractions and games.

This class is excellent for individuals who would like to experience the teamwork and communication associated with solving agility puzzles or who want to get in some exercise for themselves and their dogs. It is appropriate for overweight and older dogs, shy or under socialized dogs and dogs who have trouble adapting to novel situations. This class is not appropriate for individuals who intend to compete in agility because obstacles are introduced without laying the extensive foundation needed.

Prerequisites: Agility Puzzles, equivalent equipment familiarization or instructor permission. Dogs must be 6 months or older and should be crate trained.
