CALENDAR Durango Agility Dogs is pleased to offer the following classes during the summer 2010. Novice and Year 2 classes will be offered in 6-week blocks. Handling and drills classes will be offered as drop-ins. Six-week courses will cost $90 for non-members and $75 for members; the obedience course is $45, and the drop-in courses will be $10 a session with the opportunity to purchase multiple tickets at a discounted rate.
Class Information:Two novice classes will be offered over the course of the summer: Novice A followed by Novice B. Novice dogs are required to have obedience and must demonstrate those skills prior to taking a novice course; or must complete the 3-week obedience course prior to Novice A. Once a team has completed the Novice B course, they must join the club to continue with our training program. Pre-Agility Obedience: This is a 3-week class designed for dogs and handlers who have had no obedience classes or would like a refresher. The class is designed to teach sit, stay, down, and a recall. Some groundwork for agility will also be incorporated.
Novice A: This is a 6-week course designed to introduce novice dogs to the equipment and gain confidence. Dogs will be introduced to the tunnel, weave poles, jumps, and contact equipment. Teams will run a novice course for the last class.
Novice B: This is a 6-week course designed to introduce handling techniques such as crosses and lead-outs. Teams will also continue equipment work started in the Novice A class. Teams will run a novice course for the last class.
Novice B: This is a 6-week course designed to introduce handling techniques such as crosses and lead-outs. Teams will also continue equipment work started in the Novice A class. Teams will run a novice course for the last class.

For DAD Members Only:The following classes are for DAD members only. Agility for Year 2 Students: For the students that took DAD classes in 2009 and are ready to continue to improve their skills. If you took Novice A and B courses, or if you just feel like you want some additional early skills instruction, this is the class for you.
Advanced Handling: This class is for open and advanced competitors. It will focus on handling skills using courses predominantly from USDAA and AKC venues. Handlers will continue to develop skills in tighter courses and learn to recognize patterns such as serpentines, 180 and 270-degree turns, etc.
Distance Handling for Advanced Competition: This class will focus on distance handling commonly seen in NADAC venues. Handlers will continue developing skills in working away from their dog, obstacle discrimination, and working from “behind the line”.
Drills: These classes will focus on developing specific skills using drill exercises illustrated in Clean Run such as the ABC and 123 drills and Backyard Dogs, or drills developed from courses by the instructor. Drills are offered to all levels except Novice.
