All of my current classes are full. Please email me at Susan@funfirstagility.com if you would like to be placed on my email list to be notified when I start another group class, or for more details about my classes. I am hoping to offer some introductory classes in March and April and then start a couple of new group classes in May.

My background: I have been agility training my own dogs since 1990 and teaching agility classes since 1991. I have earned USDAA, NADAC, AKC and CPE agility titles on several different breeds of dogs.

Where are we located? The classes are at 11013 Jackson Road, Sacramento, CA 95830. We are between Excelsior and Sunrise. The training arena is grass with 5’ high chain link fencing surrounding it. The arena is set well back in the property and a very long distance from any road with traffic.

Group classes are held once a week and usually run around 1 ½ hours each. The cost is $15.00 per class with a four week commitment. That means that after the first introductory class ($15.00 for this class), you will need to commit to 4 classes at a time for a total cost of $60.00. Class size is usually 4 to 6 dogs, so everyone gets plenty of individual attention and time on the equipment.

I now also offer private and semi-private lessons. These cost $30.00 per ½ hour. Contact me for more details.

Each dog progresses at its own pace so there is really no set time that it takes a dog to learn how to do all the equipment. The same is true for the trainer (you). There is a lot to learn about working as a team with your dog and how to correctly handle him, just in case you get hooked on the sport and decide that you want to try and earn some agility titles.

If you just want to have fun, that is fine too. You will need to learn to do the equipment either way, so you might as well learn how to do it correctly. That way if you change your mind and decide to compete, you won't have to re-train anything.
