Overview:
Agility Foundations introduces new handlers to the essential skills needed for success in the sport. This class builds confidence and control, focusing on off-leash communication, focus-forward work, tunnel training, wing wraps, and early contact behaviour foundations. Teams will strengthen the balance between handler focus and obstacle focus — a critical step toward building independence and speed.

Prerequisites:

• Excellent off-leash verbal control
• Reliable sit/wait and recall around distractions
• Strong retrieve

Next Steps:
Progress to Contact & Weave Skills and/or JumpStart Handling upon instructor recommendation.

McCann Dogs Agility offers a comprehensive coaching program in a fun and supportive environment dedicated towards those interested in competing with their dogs.

At this time, our program is nearing capacity and preference each session is given to those currently in the program or those who have completed their basic training though the McCann Dogs Life Skill Programs.

If you are new to us and hoping to join our Agility classes, please contact our office team to book an assessment/private lesson with one of our agility coaches to see which level would be most appropriate. Please note that new dog and handler teams must have the same skill level and verbal control off leash around distractions as our life skills 3 students.
