Agility Open Practice
Practice Time with your Agility Dog
Spend some time practicing with your agility dog. An indoor course/equipment will be set up to allow practice on individual obstacles or practice handling through multiple obstacles.
Agility Practice Times will serve "Trialing/Getting Ready to Trial" teams. Enroll in these if you are already trialing, or have taken enough agility classes for your dog to navigate all the obstacles at full height safely.
If you want some suggestions on how to fix an issue, help will be available but remember this is not a class. It is a time to practice independently with your dog.
Note: The course will be designed for Novice and Open levels. Expect 2-3 rounds of 5-10 minutes on the course as you work in with other participants.
