Team Information

The Lietash Agility Dogs are instructed by Bob Ottenbrite, Adina MaCrae, Joanne Eisnor, and Amy Slaunwhite. All of the instructors compete in local events You will gain a variety of perspectives on agility and we will find the best training method for you and your dog.

Classes are divided into Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced, and Competition ( Lietash Agility Team). All dogs should have some basic obedience before attempting to learn dog agility. Although dogs cannot compete in agility until the age of 18 months (see www.aac.ca for rules) we do start puppies early with lowered jump heights and equipment.

Classes are always on going and new members are always welcome. Levels one through three are held on and on Saturdays from 10:00am-1pm at the farm in South Rawdon.

                If you have a dog with high drive, too much energy, or just want to build confidence then agility is for you. Enjoy the FUN that agility can be for you and your dog by contacting us.

Class Info        

Classes are divided into four groups. If you want to have excellent communication and off leash control with your dog then Lietash agility is the place for you.

Level one teaches dogs and handlers learn how to play with each other while becoming comfortable with the agility equipment. In this level we focus on play, obedience, and obstacle familiarization.

Level two continues with a large focus on play and obedience while teaching the dog and handler team some basic course maneuvers. This class, which begins to teach solid obstacle contacts, builds a foundation for advanced handling.

Level three begins to teach advanced handling. The dog and handler teams have a solid obstacle, obedience, and play foundation by this point. We work on small courses and handling maneuvers. When a student successfully completes this level they will be capable of joining the Lietash Agility team and entering a competition.

Level four or competition class is the Lietash Agility team practice. We continue our focus on play and trying to have the most fun possible in class.  
 

After classes

Please feel free to explore the farm before or after classes. There are over 435 acres of property to walk over as well as a lake to go swimming in. Students and the members of the Lietash Agility team can be found socializing at the lake. We look forward to talking to you.
