How long is a class session? Do I need to have taken an obedience class before doing agility?
• Although you do not need to have attended a formal class you do need some basic skills. Your dog should understand commands for sit, down, stay and come. He need not be 100% reliable but this is a good place to start. He needs to be able to sit quietly in a crate sometimes while you are learning. He needs to be housebroken (you will be held responsible to clean up after your dog should he not make it outside – cleaning supplies are in the building). Much of the beginning agility class is taught on lead. However, it is necessary to have basic control over your dog.
