WAG Classes
Our students learn for a variety of reasons — to have fun with their dogs, to spend quality time together, and to train for agility competitions. We work with the Greg Derrett handling system to develop confident and consistent teaching and learning. There are seven levels of classes that offer quality agility training in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Beginner 1

Novice 2

Intermediate

Masters
Detailed course analysis with emphasis on consistent, precise, and nuanced handling.
