What It Actually Feels Like
Expect an upbeat, active hour: the visit normally begins as part of a brief farm tour, then moves onto the agility trail where you walk or run with a designated pup or older dog. If a dog is shy, instructors demonstrate how to help it through obstacles; with more eager animals the momentum can feel as if the dogs are walking the people.
THE ANIMALS
Pups or Calmer Older Dogs
You’ll be teamed with either playful pups or calmer, older dogs from the farm—both are commonly used on the course and the operator adapts to each dog’s temperament.
THE COURSE
A Loop Inside the Farm Boundary
