Classes
The “Group Thing”: TCB Agility appreciate the group class environment because it’s economical and fun.
You can use our agility classes as a fun outlet for you and your dog, or you can go one step further and let us help you achieve your competition agility goals. Our students and instructor successfully compete in all flavors of agility, including USDAA, AKC and NADAC.
From the beginner dog and handler to experienced competitor, we have classes available to suit your needs. Our Beginner Agility and Puppy Agility classes help both puppies and beginner dogs get started on the right foot. We also offer a full complement of competitive handling classes, from basic handling through the excellent /masters level, which help handlers and their dogs improve and maintain their skills while getting ready for competition.
Group classes are organized into 6-week sessions for beginner dogs and handlers and on a drop in basis for more advanced teams. TCB Agility currently offers classes at TCB Farm in Salisbury, in South Charlotte at the Parker’s Field, and in Catawba SC at Sky High, an indoor air-conditioned, full matted building.
