Entry Course

Our Agility Entry Course is 9 weeks of fun, small group classes, designed to introduce you and your dog to agility training.

Entry Course

Everyone is welcome to give agility a go at NDAC and our Entry Course is the perfect way to start!

 

This 9-week course is a fun and friendly introduction to dog agility classes.  It consists of 9 weekly classes (1hr duration) in small groups (max 4) with a dedicated trainer who will introduce you to the course equipment, handling skills and our positive training methods.

Our training and exercise areas are safe and secure. We do also ask that your dog has a basic level of obedience training (sit, stay and a recall) when attending this course.  All dogs must be at least 12months old before they can start working with agility equipment.

If you have a dog that is 'reactive', or are unsure of the suitability of our classes for you, please get in touch and we'll be happy to advise.
