Dream Fields Training Program This page last updated on October 11, 1999

Dream Fields offers the following Dog Agility classes: Puppy, Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Starters, Advanced and Masters.  

Different dogs learn at different speeds. This has very little to do with breed type, and everything to do with the uniqueness of each dog and the life experiences that the dog brings to the agility field. Likewise, the enthusiasm with which the owner embraces the sport will contribute significantly to the progress of the team (the dog and the handler).  

Dream Fields assesses each dog/handler team to determine the most appropriate class in which both the dog and handler will find challenge, success, and enjoyment in the training. Dogs are not moved to more challenging levels of training until they are ready.  

Motivational Training 

Dream Fields uses only motivational training methods, including operant conditioning through a conditioned re-enforcer (the clicker). Compulsion is not used; a dog is never asked to perform an obstacle or training sequence that it's not ready or willing to attempt.
