For Level 2 Students: At this stage, teams begin preparation work for contact obstacles such as the teeter, dog walk, and A-frame. The nose touch targeting behavior introduced in Level 1 is systematically transferred to the dog walk and A-frame, building precision and confidence. Elements of the teeter are introduced gradually to ensure safety and comfort. Dogs and handlers move station-to-station throughout the class to maximize training time and focus on different skills. Teams will also start building short sequences of tunnels and jumps, learning how to link obstacles together and improve handler-dog communication. Because multiple dogs are working on the floor simultaneously, strong focus and attention to the handler are essential for success. For Level 3 Students: This level is designed for teams ready to run full agility sequences of 12–18 obstacles. Courses will range from starter to advanced level and may include all equipment, with modifications provided for dogs still in the process of mastering more complex obstacles like weaves and the teeter. Level 3 focuses on refining handling skills, improving speed and accuracy, and teaching dogs to maintain focus and stamina throughout a complete course. Handlers also develop their ability to read and memorize courses, preparing them for higher levels of agility training or competition. This combined class provides an exciting and supportive environment for dogs and handlers to grow their skills, offering tailored challenges for each level while fostering teamwork and a strong handler-dog bond.
