Puppy Agility

Competition Bedrock

Every good construction project starts with the bedrock! Even before a foundation is built, solid rock is the key to the successful final project!

At TCOTC, we are now offering a class we have named Competition Bedrock. If you are on a path to competing someday in ANY of the dog sports: Agility, Rally-O, Flyball, Obedience, Freestyle or even a combination of these, this is the place to start!

In this class dog and handler teams will develop the fundamental skills needed to build that bedrock. These skills include handler focus, impulse control, body awareness, shaping behaviors, targeting and more! Click here to see the detailed list of outcomes for this class. Teams will be assessed by their instructor towards the end of the nine-week session to determine the next step towards achieving their competition goals. Skills in those next classes will be focused on the individual sport although of course there will be some crossover.

Successful completion of the Competition Bedrock class and Instructor approval are required before becoming eligible for our Advanced Obedience, Foundation Agility, Beginning Flyball and Beginning Rally classes.

This class is for dogs who are 18 weeks of age or older and for handlers who have a goal of participating in dog sport competitions. Teams must complete a tier 2 class at TCOTC to be eligible for enrollment.

This is our most in demand class and it is being filled from the waiting list at this time. 

Session Length: 9 classes
Prerequisite: Basic Training, Puppy Basic Training, or approved skills evaluation and successful completion of at least one TCOTC tier 2 class.
Fee: $145
