Day/Location: Thursdays/Versa Dog Sports (Layton)
This class held on THURSDAYS at Versa Dog Training in Layton!
Dog agility is a sport where the handler (you) directs (or handles) the dog through a pre-set obstacle course within a certain time limit. Most of these obstacles will be jumps, but the rest of the obstacles will be contact obstacles and weave poles. In Contact and Weave Pole Foundations handlers will teach their dogs how to complete the contact obstacles and weave poles correctly. This is a Tier B class, and dogs are expected to have passed ALL Tier A classes prior to enrolling in this class. A reliable recall (come cue) is a necessity for all dogs who enroll in this class. This class is held on Fridays at Versa Dog Training in Layton. Handlers will need to bring a crate to class for their dog.

Class Tiers
Class Tier System
Our goal is for dog and handler teams to progress through a structured curriculum of classes that are grouped in levels of ability. Before students may progress from Tier A to Tier B, we strongly recommend teams pass all Tier A level classes. For Tier B through Tier D, progression depends on student ability. * STAR Puppy * Tier A classes (beginner): Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Focus and Impulse Control (FIC), and Obedience I (Ob I). * Tier B classes (novice to intermediate): Tricks Novice/Intermediate, Agility Foundations, and Obedience II. * Tier C classes (intermediate): Agility I and Rally I. * Tier D classes (advanced): Agility II, Rally II, and Show N Go. * Specialty classes (conditional). We adapted the AKC STAR Puppy and CGC classes to fit our club needs. We offer AKC testing for these two classes at the end of every session. We suggest that teams first progress from STAR to CGC, which follows the AKC program design. Tier A level teams may then take FIC and Ob I to finish off Tier A class progression. Please talk with instructors or the Director of Training if you have questions about class progression or availability.
