Evaluation
Current Private Lesson Rate: $35.00 for 30 minutesAll dogs not starting in Foundation must be evaluated prior to class placement. It's not fair to you, your dog or the others in class to be in a class not suited for your needs. Rate will be at current private lesson rate for 30 minute session. Titles can be substituted for evaluation on a individual, case by case basis.
Foundation Level
Foundation Classes are either private lessons for 15 minutes or semi-private lessons for 30 minutes(2 dogs/2 people). Cost: $ 6 sessions for $120.00 or 3 sessions at $75.00
session.
Puppies in Foundation Classes? Foundation
classes are suitable for puppies 6 months or older. No jumping, or repetitive activities for puppies that have open growth plates.
Because the Foundation Series is entirely via private lessons, you will progress at *your* pace.
Included in this will be "Arena Time" in which you can stay after your lesson
(or come early) and pratice what you were taught. There will be a special area set aside in the arena. Please note that there will not be any instruction during this time.
When you are finished, you and your dog will be ready for Agility 201 (as space permits). Be prepared for homework!
