Classes
Our Training Philosophy: We are a positive training facility because scientific research shows that reward based training gets consistent results, is the most effective, the most safe and the most humane way to train, and helps you to build a successful partnership with your dog. That means that we do not allow the use of electric, prong or choke collars. Furthermore, we believe that you can teach dogs and effect change without the use of force.
Update on classes 2/10/24: If you and your dog are new to agility, we now have a prerequisite that must be met prior to starting our agility program - a Pre-Agility/Skills that focuses on positive reinforcement MUST be completed with you as the handler, and that class must be done here at Team Spirit Agility. WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH INTEREST THAT WE ARE SUSPENDING THE TAKING OF ANY NAMES FOR THIS CLASS FOR THE TIME-BEING. We will update this website when we begin to take names for this class again. Sorry for the delay!
For higher level classes: If you have done some agility elsewhere, we do schedule evaluations for a small fee to determine what level of class would be most appropriate for you and your dog. We do these evaluations only when we have class spots available.
We offer agility training group classes at every level from Basic Manners to the Masters Level. Most group classes are offered in a six-week session and classes are ongoing. Instructors vary depending on the class. Group classes require pre-registration.
We also offer Control Unleashed classes, Nosework classes and other options.
In addition to group classes, for our current students, we offer drop-in practice (Drop-Ins Do's and Don'ts
here) in the main arena several times a week for a nominal fee.
**Please note, as of 5/16/20, drop-ins are temporarily discontinued. If you are a current student here, private ring rental is available.**In order to keep your dogs in tip-top shape, we also have Dr. Alice Baker Meuten (
