Getting Started in Agility

ARFF accepts members that have basic agility instruction under their belts. To join the club, you will need to have taken agility classes and be evaluated at the field to ensure that you and your dog can use the equipment safely. Our practices don't address learning agility but novice ARFF members can get support at practice from Practice Committee members and members with competition experience.

There are many opportunities for agility classes in the greater Boston area. If you google "Agility classes (your location)" you'll see what training facilities are near you.
