Agility Classes:

Agility Prep: This six-week primer helps prepare you and your pet for the fundamental dog & handler skills needed to be successful in agility. This class will demonstrate how to gain better focus from your pet, teach you how to play, motivate, and reward your dog appropriately so you can begin to form a team-based relationship, and begins such foundation skills as flatwork, side changes, SIT, DOWN, STAY with distractions, and will introduce the Tunnel, Table, downsides of the Contact Obstacles, and Bar Jumps. This class is required for future agility classes and costs $175. Dogs must be at least 6 months old to participate.

Beginner Class: Our six-week beginner agility class introduces dogs to the fundamental skills they will need to learn to play safely and successfully in agility. Dogs are introduced to the full Dog Walk, Weave Poles, Spread & Panel Jumps, Collapsed Tunnel (Chute), and A-Frame. Beginner agility also builds upon many obedience-for-agility concepts that will help your pet in the more advanced classes and at home. This is a 6-Week on-leash class. Our beginner class is $175, with classes starting soon!

Competition Class: Dogs of all levels getting ready for, or competing in competition are encouraged to take part in this class where dogs and handlers gain experience with various handling strategies, improving their execution, strengthening criteria on each obstacle, and running sequences and short courses. Tuition or each 6-week class is $140. Dogs must have a recall or run on leash in this class.

If you're interested in drop-in classes, you may join us a class at a time for $25/class. Please let us know in advance if you're planning on coming, so we can let you know if we have to cancel due to weather, and so we can verify your vaccination records and confirm having a spot in class to accommodate you and your pet in that particular class.

Private Lessons: Private lessons are available for $50 per half-hour or $95 per hour and are available by appointment. The half hour may be split between two dogs belonging to the same person, and the hour may be split between two people, each with up to two dogs. Please call to schedule your lesson and discuss your goals for the session.

Field Rental and Fun Runs: We will also rent our field to experienced agility handlers. Rental is $20 per hour for up to 5 people. Call or email us for a quote for rental for groups of more than 5 handlers. You can call or email for availability and to reserve the field. Also, as time and the agility trialing season allows, we will offer Fun Run's on select Friday or Saturday evenings. Please check this page for dates and times, or email us to be added to our announcement list.

JCPR hosts its agility program outdoors in its fully equipped, grass, lighted, fenced-in arena (no cover), and therefore, classes are subject to a weather policy. If the weather conditions are such that the equipment or field is not useable, class will be cancelled and all students registered for that class will be notified via email unless you request another method of notification. Students enrolled are encouraged to also leave a cell phone or another method of contact which they will check prior to coming to class so that we may relay class information in the event we need to notify you up to 2 hours prior to your scheduled class. It is the student's responsibility to check their e-mail, phone messages, and to provide us with up-to-date contact information. Drop-Ins or students invited to come to class on an alternate day/time are encouraged to call prior to 6:00 pm to check if class will be held. If there is a 30% chance or greater of precipitation, temperatures in the low 30s, high winds are predicted or other factors that render unsafe conditions, JCPR reserves the right to cancel class to be continued at the next appointed time. You will NOT be penalized for weather days - we simply hold class the next week in its designated time slot until we have hosted the number of classes for your session. No refunds will be given with regard to the weather policy. Likewise, a student's inability to show up to participate in hosted classes after the point of registration will not be given a refund.

Students are required to register for class and provide payment in advance. Tuition will be charged upon enrollment in the class. If we have fewer students than necessary to host the class, enrollees will be notified of the new start date. JCPR will not issue refunds for students who are unable to attend classes or for dates that are affected by the weather conditions and pushed back into future calendar dates. When you register for a class, it is similar to registering for college classes - you use them or lose them. Your registration reserves the spot in that particular class AND reserves your instructor for that particular class. Please notify J-Canine of your intent to discontinue classes BEFORE the new session has begun. Missed dates shall not be applied to other classes or "traded" out for other services.
