How it is taught
All OTC classes are taught by team members using positive methods and AKC guidelines. Instruction is led by volunteer agility instructors who train and trial at the highest levels of the sport. OTC guidelines require the lead instructor in each class to have trained and shown a dog to an appropriate AKC title before instructing.
