Advanced Classes

All classes that follow on from the beginners course will not only progress the training of skills already learned but will further their training with new skills. In these classes the handlers will also be learning about more fun and games they can play with their dogs.

Advanced classes will also contain some agility and U.K. Rally and the Kennel Club's Good Citizen Dog Scheme (KCGCDS) including Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Canine Fitness with Agility for fun classes are held outside from March (depending on the weather) until early November.  To join this class it is necessary to have completed the Basic Life Skills course or similar.

 U.K. Rally classes are held indoors all year round. U.K. Rally is a new fun dog sport from the U.S.A.  It is aimed at pet dogs and combines some obedience with some agility.  Basically each dog and handler work as a team on a previously set up course.  The dog and handler work their way around the course going from station to station while completing the exercise  stated at each station.  For more information please have a look at the U.K. APDT site.
