Agility
Cowichan Canine offers recreational agility classes for everyone. Classes are private (one student only) and 30 minutes in length. There is no need to wait to sign up, as we offer the convenience of rolling enrolment.

Agility Classes
Our agility classes are offered as 1-on-1 lessons which are half an hour in length, in order that each dog & handler team get maximum benefit.
The classes operate with a punch card system, and your punch card only gets charged when you actually book a class. You can purchase a 6, 12 or 20 class punch card, whatever suits your purse and time commitment.

WELCOME TO CLASS!
I enjoyed working with Bev and Laurie. The small classes and individual attention really make a big difference. There were a couple of moments in Foundations when you said "Click!" (and I did - yeah me...) at precisely the right moment for me to 'get it'. As a result, we went from Vita pulling like a fiend to polite walking in literally 2 classes. And getting the mechanics of Leave It/Take It down on my part (thank you again), helped me sort that one out in 3 or 4 sessions at home. We have, as you know, moved on to agility; Vita is having fun and is getting more confident and spirited with each class.

Louie and I just completed the Puppy Start Right program with Stef at Cowichan Canine, and what a fabulous experience. PSR covers all the basics, with carefully curated play sessions, exposure to various sounds and things from our human world, training tips, and lots of practical advice. Stef is kind and very experienced and has helped me to remember that these crazy first months of puppyhood - with the constant vigilance, all the peeing and biting, and the early wakeup calls - will pass, and is just part of the journey to a well-trained socialized dog. I will always remember how Louie passed out in the car on the way home from class: happy, tired and snoring ever so slightly. Thanks Stef, I cannot imagine doing this without Cowichan Canine.
