Considering Agility Training?

Agility is a sport that requires a long-term training commitment to be successful. To meet that need, TCOTC must continue to offer classes to our advanced and intermediate level students on an on-going basis. Foundation (entry-level) classes are offered when space becomes available. To participate in agility your dog MUST be well under your control, especially in a close contact setting (indoors). If an instructor identifies any aggression or socialization issues you will be given a referral for specialized help in that area. An evaluation will be necessary to resume agility classes. Agility should be a fun experience for all involved and TCOTC believes in acting proactively to prevent problems or injuries.

Please note that teams do not progress at uniform rates. However, success at agility is more likely when there are frequent practice sessions and when the handler has learned how to effectively communicate with the dog.
