CANINE GAMES AGILITY COURSE

                        

INTRODUCE YOUR DOG TO THIS FUN CANINE SPORT 

HE'LL NEVER COMPLAIN OF BEING BORED AGAIN!

 

Amusement, adventure and athletic activities await all breeds of dogs and their humans at this unique agility obstacle course.  Get your canine couch-potato out of the house and treat him each week to an entertaining hour of fun, exercise, and new challenges as you guide him through a wide variety of intriguing stations, including open and collapsed tunnels, teeter-totter, tire-jump, A-frame, pause-table, dogwalk, weave-poles, and a variety of bar and panel jumps.   Come socialize with other dogs and their owners, as you have fun introducing your dog to the excitement of Canine Agility! Our course equipment meets A. K. C.  Agility standards.  No previous experience is needed for our Novice Agility course, (listed on Class Schedule as "Agility-Beg") but knowing some basic obedience commands will be very helpful in directing your dog around the obstacles.  Owners are responsible for keeping their dogs under control at all times, and any dogs displaying aggressive behavior towards other dogs or people will not be allowed at class without a muzzle.  All vaccinations must be kept current.  Families are welcome, and kids ages 10 years and older, accompanied by a parent may participate.  Trophies and certificates will be awarded at a timed agility competition on the last meeting.  For Intermediate or Advanced-level Agility programs, please scroll down on this page.   Our course is run as an 8-week session, with the first meeting held WITHOUT DOGS.  The registration fee in most cities is about $69-$75,(pre-register) with an additional $25.00 materials fee (for equipment maintenance, insurance, and awards) payable to the instructor at the first class meeting. 

         

Please check our Class Schedule for locations and starting dates of the class most convenient to you.  Most of our Agility classes fill quickly every session, so be sure to pre-register early to assure a place in the class of your choice!

Registration note:  Some of our classes are co-sponsored by the Recreation Departments of multiple cities … You may be able to sign up through your own city for a class being offered in a neighboring city, and in some cases, save having to pay an additional non-resident charge.  Please see below for some of these co-sponsored classes. 


  

All breeds of dogs are welcome to join our "Canine Games Agility Course", offered in several cities throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties.  See our Class Schedule, and look in the type of class column for "Agility" to find the best class for you.  Don't let your dog miss out on the fun ... Give him a new leash on life!   This photo is from one of our Yorba Linda classes.  (More photos at bottom of page)

AGILITY CLASSES FOR DOGS WITH PREVIOUS AGILITY EXPERIENCE:

INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED CLASSES:  8-WEEK SESSIONS

We also offer Intermediate/Advanced Agility classes in some locations where our Beginning Agility classes are taught.  These classes (listed on Class Schedule page as "Agility-Adv") are for dogs who have graduated from one of our Beginning Agility classes, or who have already been introduced to all agility apparatus (as listed in Canine Games Agility Course description above) and are comfortable with all course equipment.  This class will help you with improving your dog's performance, accuracy, and course time, and provides you with an opportunity to continue enjoying this fun activity with your dog in a setting with other intermediate/advanced level students.  Some more challenging strategies will be introduced, and jumps and A-frame will be set higher than in the Beginning Course.  More emphasis will be placed on working the weave poles, and focusing the dog's attention.  The courses may include traps and options.   Our class fees for Intermediate /Advanced Agility classes are $69-$75 for the eight-week session. (plus a $25 equipment maintenance/insurance fee)
