Q: What is the difference between the Sunday Agility 1 and 2 on Sundays and this class?

A: This class is a nearly 90 minute blended skills class where one dog works at a time on course off leash while the rest of class is in a separate section of the training room and has on leash activities to work on OR is instructed to observe the working dog.  Observing agility skills being worked is an integral aspect of learning the sport.  The Sunday Agility 1 and 2 classes work multiple dogs at a time in areas sectioned off by gates, each class is 1 hour and there is a delineation between levels 1 and 2.
