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.
