WAG Agility

WAG offers a diverse range of dog sport training and competition opportunities, including Agility, Obedience, Rally, Nosework, and Tricks. Classes are structured as 8-week sessions, with each session consisting of one hour of class per week. The Level 1 Agility program is a comprehensive 32-week series, broken down into four progressive 8-week sessions.

In addition to regular session classes, WAG provides “Workshop Classes,” which are non-session offerings where students can sign up for individual dates and times, paying per class for increased scheduling flexibility. Class levels span from Puppy and Beginner through Advanced Competition, with specific prerequisites for higher-level courses. WAG also hosts various trials sanctioned by organizations such as AKC, CPE, TDAA, UKC, and UKI, alongside fun runs, sniff & gos, run thrus, and educational seminars and workshops.

Pricing Summary

All classes are 8 weeks in length, with one-hour sessions. For Level 1 agility classes, members pay $176 ($22 per week), and non-members pay $200 ($25 per week). For all other classes, members pay $160 ($20 per week), and non-members pay $184 ($23 per week).

Workshop Class fees are $17 for members and $19 for non-members per one-hour class. New students are required to make full payment to reserve a spot, while continuing students pay at the first class of each session. A $30 nonrefundable portion applies to cancellations made before the first class; no refunds are issued once a session begins, and missed classes are not refunded or made up. Students whose bitches come into season during a class session may attend with panties or receive a credit for a subsequent session.

Policies

If a student cancels before the first class in a session, the session fee is refunded except for a $30 nonrefundable portion. Once the session starts, there are no refunds. Payment is for an entire session; any missed classes during that session will not be refunded and may not be made up.

If a bitch comes into season during a class session, the student has the option to attend class (panties required), or may choose to skip class and receive a credit to be applied to a subsequent session. For Workshop Classes, a minimum of 24 hours notice is required for cancellations to avoid owing the class fee for the missed class.
