Definitions:

Puppy Prep:		Puppies 8 wks to 6 months. Third Way foundations and learning to learn.
FUNdamentals of Agility		for dogs and handlers who need to work on basic control skills, including sit/stay, come, loose leash walking and targeting behaviors. Will be taught using food, toys and games. This class builds the relationship necessary for agility teams to succeed in the sport of agility.
Introduction to Agility		requires dogs to already be able to come, sit/stay and be around other dogs off leash safely. The goal is to introduce dogs and handlers to agility obstacles and training techniques.
Novice Agility		for dogs and handlers who are working on independent performance of jumps, weaves, and contact obstacles. Sequencing is also included in the skills here. You must select a contact behavior!
Open/Intermediate agility		for dogs and handlers who have independent obstacle skills, and no particular training �issues�. Focus is on handler skills and adding distance to handling in preparation for competition.
Advanced/Excellent agility		continues to challenge current skills of both dogs and handlers, with exercises pulled from current competition requirements of these teams, though they are not required to be competing to be eligible for these classes.
Rally Run Throughs		by Beth Lagimoniere. Contact her: ROTTNAWS@earthlink.net, 805 260-4545
