Agility Evaluation
Agility Readiness Evaluation
In this 30-minute group session, an agility instructor will assess where the best starting point for you and your dog is in our agility program. We will also break down our different programs and give you tips on how to get the most out of your classes.
Please note that your dog will not be trying out the agility equipment in this evaluation. We are assessing his readiness for a foundation training program, which is a prerequisite for training on the equipment.
Agility is a demanding sport which requires a high level of engagement between you and your dog. Please read over the following questions:
- Is your dog over 11 months of age?
- Has your dog completed a basic obedience class where you were the primary handler in the class?
- If another dog comes up to visit your dog, will your dog be fine with the encounter?
- If your dog sees another dog running 40 feet away will you be able to get your dog’s attention?
- If your dog has ever had major surgeries or injuries, has a specialist approved them to play this sport?
If you answered “yes” to ALL 5 of these questions, go ahead and book your agility evaluation. If your answer is “no” to one or all of these questions we recommend that you contact us to see if we can start you off in an obedience class. If you have previous experience in agility, please call us to schedule a private session to run an in-depth evaluation to place you in our program.
