Class Sets of 4 weekly classes -- starting dates: May 12 and 13, June 16 and 17 July 21 and 22, location to be announced.

DAWG classes are given according to a specific progression, the total beginners program is 16 weeks, which will take the dog and handler team through all basic aspects of agility training. Handlers can sign up in 4 week increments. DAWG has a policy of matching dogs to level of training and dog size compatibility where ever possible and we reserve the right to move a team to a different time frame than requested.
Each dog learns at its own pace, and the speed of learning depends greatly on the time invested by the handler on homework assignments. By repeating the exercises that are given to you in class at home, the dog will progress faster, and the handler will enjoy the classes more.
