Any youth that has completed one year of training with the Dane County 4-H Dog Project can participate in Agility Training.

Have you ever watched a dog run an agility course and thought, I would like to do that? If you have a dog that you think would enjoy it with you, join us for the start of the 4-H Dog Agility Project.

*If you do not have a dog, but have interest in running agility, feel free to send us an email and we can try matching you with one of our program dogs that you can learn with!*

Classes will take place once a month spanning from November – April. This approach requires members to take initiative in training in order to achieve progress and to thrive.

The 4-H Dog Agility Project teaches members and their dogs how to work together in order to navigate an agility course. Dogs must have the ability to work off leash with the member. All dogs must pass a vet and behavior check in order to make sure that they are behaviorally and structurally sound enough to compete. Please note that class assessments will be made based off of prior knowledge from our trainers, meaning that if you have not been in the program before you will automatically be placed into a beginning class. If your dog has prior skills and you wish to be in a higher class, please send videos of you and your dog working together.

In order to accommodate the limited number of classes and teachers that we are able to provide, we will be implementing a weighted lottery system. This means that not every dog will be a good fit or get into the program this year. This also means that if you have multiple dogs, you will be allowed to train only one in agility. 

If you wish to participate but cannot attend the check in, please attempt to send someone else with your dog, as this check in is mandatory in order to attend training this year due to the health check required. 

What to bring to the Agility Check In: Your dog and a copy of rabies vaccination paperwork.

Cost: $60 as cash/check made out to Dane County 4H, only required after acceptance into the project.
