Classes

Agility classes

Foundation to competition agility on three fenced fields, taught by instructors who train and trial at the highest levels of the sport.

OTC has offered agility classes since 2007. Instructors have been training and trialing for several years and all compete at the highest levels of agility. We keep three large fenced areas for agility alone, and maintain equipment to meet AKC requirements.

Beginner Agility starts with focus, motivation and body awareness rather than obstacles, and requires Beginner Obedience first. Because space is limited and demand is high, agility classes run from a list — contact us early to be added.

Spectators are welcome. Please call ahead: start times can shift with extreme heat, cold or wet weather.
