The AKC Agility League allows a new way to train and have fun in the Fall and Winter months. In addition to the AKC competition. We would like to have team competitions with other local training facilities and competitions against all the Barkelely teams.
The league season will run 12 weeks. Each team will run the same six courses during the season – one course every two weeks – on their local field.
There will be 3 divisions for the fall season:
International (minimum field size 100 X 100) – ISC style courses judged by League rules
Regular (minimum field size 70 X 100) – all regular classes – no Premier – Masters level JWW, Standard & hybrid
Limited – (minimum field size 50 X 70) Courses will be designed for the limited spaces to allow clubs/schools with smaller areas to play too.

I began my dog carrier about 25 years ago after moving to Spokane, WA and joining Spokane Dog Training Club. My foundation is in obedience but shortly after joining SDTC I discovered agility and was hooked.

I began my dog carrier about 25 years ago after moving to Spokane, WA and joining Spokane Dog Training Club. My foundation is in obedience but shortly after joining SDTC I discovered agility and was hooked. I have been training in agility for the last 25 years and have personal trained and competed with Shetland Sheepdogs (PACH), a Border Collie (MACH) & Doberman Pinchers. I began teaching/instructing agility approximately 20 years ago and have worked with dogs of all sizes (Corgis to Akita’s). I have been in agility for so long, I remember when the start & finish line were orange cones, and the timer was a person with a stopwatch.
I believe that building a strong foundation of teamwork and trust is a major component through the training and learning process. My training is based on positive reinforcement, and I have used both verbal and clicker methods when training and/or instructing. I believe obedience and agility training are not and should not be separate. Basic obedience training can support your agility career.
Each dog and handler are unique and have their own personal challenges. My first love is problem solving training … helping teams with a specific problem and finding the best way to communicate what is wanted in a language understood by both the dog and handler.
I believe the mental game is as equally important as obstacle and skills training. If you are not having fun and enjoying the game .. ask yourself why. During my agility career, one of the best compliments I received was from another competitor…she told me … “if I don’t see your run, I can’t tell if you qualified or not at the end, you are always so happy and smiling .. either way”. My dogs never asked to run agility, they do it because I chose that sport for us … why wouldn’t I celebrate every run .. regardless of a “Q” or not.
Limited Agility Problem Solving Privates are available (contact issues / weaves / start line / team connection / jumping/ etc…). Contact privately for details
