Foundation Agility Class
We have now added an Agility Foundations class to our roster! This is an ONLINE class that can be done from home. It is held via a Facebook Group (you will need access to Facebook). Minimal equipment is needed (and the class shows you how to make what you need or where to purchase it). This class will be REQUIRED before you are allowed to register for our physical agility classes. Access to this class is indefinite but you will need to submit homework to show progression. Our hope by doing this is to be able to focus more on equipment execution and course running skills in our physical classes.
You can register for this class at: whispering-echos-farm.square.site/product/online-classes/24?cs=true&cst=custom (select the Agility Foundations class from the drop down menu)
Foundation/Beginning Agility Class
Have you ever watched agility on TV and thought your dog would enjoy that? Does your dog like to run, jump, and play? Does your dog have a lot of excess energy!? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then agility could be the sport for you! In this class we will introduce the dogs to agility equipment in a safe and controlled environment. We will also work on groundwork, including handling, foundation moves, and targeting. Dogs should have completed a basic beginner obedience class and our online Agility Foundations class prior to attending. Dogs should be at least 9 months old for this class. This class can be repeated as necessary. This class meets weekly for 6 weeks, for 45 minutes. Class size is limited to 6 dogs (3 dogs minimum). This classes will be held outside in our fully fenced agility field- if the weather isn't cooperative, we'll work inside in our fully climate controlled, matted, training building. View video below to see what fun things we do in class!

This class is for teams who have completed a round or two of beginning agility. Dogs should be comfortable on all pieces of equipment prior to joining this class. We will work on more independent obstacle performance (contacts, weaves, etc), plus crosses, sends, and other handling moves. Teams will work on more challenging sequences to help improve their skill sets. This classes will be hopefully be held outdoors on our sport field (we will work indoors if needed). This class will work on sequencing and running small courses. This class is appropriate for our 4H friends as well.

Specialty Class
Occasionally we offer specialty classes to focus on specific parts of agility. These are classes that are best suited for teams who have done 1-2 rounds of beginner and maybe even an intermediate class. These specialty classes will help teams perfect some of the important skills needed in agility that an be harder to cover in a broad-spectrum class. Our next Specialty Class will be WEAVES! This will focus on introducing dogs and handlers to weave poles. We'll proof entrances, exits, consistency and commitment. This class will be held in our indoor, climate controlled, matted facility. This class does require instructor approval. If you are unsure if your team is right for this class, send us an email and we'll chat. If you've taken an agility class here before then you are cleared to register.

Private Lessons
We understand that classes don't always work for everyone's schedule, or sometimes dogs have specific issues that need to be worked on outside of a class environment. We also understand that sometimes you just want some really detailed, one-on-one training help. We do offer private lessons at our facility! We can work on anything you'd like to work on, from behavioral issues, to e-collar conditioning, to competitive obedience/agility skills/handling, etc. We recommend a 30 minute session for one dog (or 60 minutes for 2 dogs). 30 mins/$50, 60 mins/$75. Please send us an email to schedule a lesson.
