Agility Classes with Free Spirit Dogs

Whether you are brand new to the sport, have international competition aspirations, or are somewhere in the middle, we have an option for you.

What you’ll find in all of our classes

  • We limit our classes to 4 dogs to ensure you get plenty of 1-on-1 time each class

  • Every dog and human progresses at a different pace. What is harder for one dog, may be a bit easier for others. Each turn is tailored to where you are at and building the skills that allow you to achieve your goals.

  • Kindness is the cornerstone of everything we do. That is why you will find our training style to be compassionate, kind, and positive reinforcement based. We take a LIMA approach (least invasive, minimally aversive) to everything we do. This includes with humans too.

  • Agility is all about playing a game with your dog, and we take that approach to all of the skills we build. Your dog is going to think you are the absolute bomb as we teach you games that build your relationship every time you play them.

  • It is incredibly important to us that you have agility skills that give you the opportunity to take the sport to whichever level you would like to achieve. Whether you have incredibly high competitive aspirations or don’t ever see yourself competing, you will be taught to execute the game in a way that creates clarity for your dog, building on your relationship on and off the field.

  • We know that not all dogs love being greeted by the other pups or people in the room. In our beginner classes, each team has its own 10’x10’ pen with visual barriers to hang out in between turns.

    Turns on the training floor are always solo and we take great care to manage the flow of dogs through entrances and exits to avoid interactions.

    Once in our Coaching Program, we take the same approach to eliminating interactions, and dogs are crated between turns.

  • Puppies 4 months and older that have their vaccinations are welcome to enroll in our agility programs. Activities are done in puppy-safe ways to build beautiful sport foundations, and jumping at height and climbing is added in once it is safe for them to do so.

  • QuickStart

    You’re brand new to agility (welcome to your new addiction)! This is where you want to start for a solid foundation.

  • Foundation Sequencing

    Your pup is comfortable with sequencing 3-5 jumps and tunnels together and you’re ready to do bigger things together!

  • Agility Essentials

    You’re working well as a team and sequencing 3-5 obstacles together with a front cross. Let’s take it to the next level.

  • Coaching Program

    Once you feel comfortable executing front and blind crosses in sequence and your pup is sequencing 5-8 obstacles together with a change of direction, the Coaching Program is the destination for all of our advanced students.
