Getting Started at Flexi

For dogs new to agility, the classes in the “New to Agility” block are mandatory and must be taken in order. If your dog has received agility training elsewhere, then you will be placed in the class level suited to their ability. A current copy of your dog’s Rabies vaccination is required. Classes are limited to 10 dogs per class.

IMPORTANT … please remember to sign in each night.

In the event that Flexi postpones classes, members will receive credit towards the next month.

PRE-AGILITY:

The first class is Pre-Agility. Cost is $200 per dog for the 8 week session (classes are held at the same time each week for 8 weeks). Payment is due on or before your first class, and you will be asked for a $100 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. You must not miss more than 3 classes in order to advance to the Beginners Level. Email Mary Lou Hughes to sign up for this class.

BEGINNERS LEVELS 1–3:

When you have completed the required Pre-Agility Level, you and your dog will graduate to Beginners Level 1. Beginners Level 1 classes are also for 8 weeks and the cost is $200.00 per dog, which is due at your first class. You must not miss more than 3 classes in order to advance to the Beginners Level 2. Classes are limited to 10 dogs per class.

After you and your dog have completed the Beginners Level 1, you will graduate to Beginners Level 2. Beginners Level 2 is also 8 weeks and the cost is $200.00 per dog, which is due in advance of your first class. You must not miss more than 3 classes in order to advance to the Beginners Level 3.

After you and your dog have completed the Beginners Level 2, you will graduate to Beginners Level 3. Beginners Level 3 is also 8 weeks and the cost is $200.00 per dog, which is due in advance of your first class. You must not miss more than 3 classes in order to advance to the Pre-Starters.

The following cost for the classes below depend upon membership.

• Working members need to help with at least two full days or a combination of half days equaling two full days at one of our 8 CPE trials per year. They can earn worker tickets for this help and $20.00 of these can be used towards their training fees per 8-week session.
• Non-working members do not need to help at our trials (but all help is appreciated!).

Members pay every 8 weeks ($168/working spot), and must attend classes on a regular basis as it stated in the membership application. If paying with cash, please use an envelope with your name and class day and time on it. Classes are paid for in 8-week increments regardless of attendance. This guarantees your spot is held.

IMPORTANT … please remember to sign in each night.
