Agility

Fit-N-Trim classes are held at either our climate-controlled indoor facility at 108 Newburyport Turnpike, or at our outdoor ring or covered arena at 103 Haverhill Street. For all agility classes other than Beginner 1, please contact Karen to ensure that you and your dog are placed at the correct level. All agility classes except Beginner Agility 1 continue in six week blocks. Your instructor will let you know when a new six week session begins so you will know when payment is due.

AGILITY “Appetizer“

Want to try Agility? This class will introduce you to most of the agility obstacles.

Class Focus: Having fun with your dog and learning the obstacles. There will be very little handling or off leash running. If you want to have fun and provide an exciting learning environment for you and your dog, this is the place to start. This class will also improve your dog’s strength and body awareness as they learn how to correctly perform some basic agility obstacles.

Obstacles that will be used: Low Jumps, Table, Tunnel, PVC Ladder, Planks, Barrel, A-Frame, Dog Walk, Tire and Poles.
