Dog-handler teams must be able to safely and independently perform all obstacles. (*except teeter, if they are only competing in NADAC). Dog-handler teams should have earned an entry level (Beginner, Novice, Starters) agility title in at least one venue (AKC, USDAA, NADAC, UKI) or demonstrate an ability to compete at such a level to the instructor.

Dogs over the age of 1 year must pass the Behavior Evaluation prior to coming on the field or starting any class other than Pre-Agility or Level 1: Beginners Class.

Prerequisites

The goal of this class is to provide practice opportunity and support for advanced dog-handler teams actively competing in Open level and higher. Handlers practice walking courses and developing, discussing and testing different handling strategies. It is expected that dogs will perform obstacles independently (with no hesitation or overt assistance from the handler). Skills to be developed at this level include side changes, layering, discriminations, distance challenges, backsides and threadles. Competition challenges at this level test the handler's and dog's ability to perform the obstacles at a faster pace, and have more directional and distance control.
