Agility Classes
Agility is a fun sport that works a dog both mentally and physically. It is a great confidence builder for nervous dogs and a wonderful outlet for high-energy dogs. Whether you choose to compete or are just looking for something fun to do with your dog, our agility classes will help you achieve your goals. All of our agility classes are taught by instructors who successfully compete in agility, with the upper-level classes only being taught by instructors who have earned at least one Master Agility Championship.
Please see below for full class descriptions. If you are unsure if a class is right for you, you may contact us for assistance and possible evaluation. For your ease we have listed all of our upcoming sessions to the right of the class descriptions. These are the start dates for each session and not the list of class dates, your class will meet the same day and time each week unless otherwise noted in the description. If you do not see the class you would like on our upcoming list, you may sign up on our wait list or please contact us and we can notify you when it does become available.
In addition to personalized instruction, your registration includes video highlights from classes as well as exclusive access to our private Facebook group for Bell Creek students where you can ask questions, get advice, see instructional videos, and meet some other wonderful dog folks.

Private Agility Lessons
Private lessons are customized to your needs. There is no limit on the number of dogs worked, so you can work one, your crew, or share with a friend. Private lessons are great for teams that schedules do not work for regular classes or for individuals who would like short, focused, lessons for busy schedules or distracted and/or high-energy dogs. Cancellation of your time slot does require 48-hours notice for Bell Creek lessons. Lessons at Sirius Ranch are non-refundable. Price for winter: Bell Creek is $35 for 30-minutes Sirius Ranch is $60 for 30-minutes (reflecting the 50% rate increase) |

Private Agility Lesson Package
Is your dog not quite ready for learning in a class setting?
Would you like specific, individual help with your agility goals?
Our Agility Private Lesson Program will help you and your pup progress faster towards your goals than a classroom setting allows, and offers you convenient scheduling options.
Is the Agility Private Lesson Program limited to just one dog? You can focus your training and learning with just one dog, or with dogs at different levels in their agility journey. The beauty of this program is that YOU customize it with the individual instruction and workshops or tests of YOUR choice.
What does the BCAO Agility Private Lesson Program include?
12 thirty minute lessons ($540 value)Take your agility training to the next level with our private lessons, which are perfect for students wanting individualized, tailored help with specific goals and/or issues. Private lessons can also help you fill the training gap and progress more quickly than a class setting. Private lessons can be given on their own or in conjunction with an existing class. Work one or multiple dogs during your time. These lessons are at our Bell Creek facility.
8 Workshops or Agility Course Tests (ACTs) ($480 value)Choose from any combination of eight (8) of Bell Creek’s workshops or ACTs
Our workshops are stand-alone, mini-class sessions designed to teach specific skills. Typically two hours in duration, workshops give teams a chance to polish specific skills. Examples of past workshops include distance handling, contacts, and weaves, to name a few.
Our tests include the Agility Course Test (ACT), an entry level agility event designed to introduce and welcome beginning dogs and their handlers to the AKC sport of agility. The rules governing an AKC performance event apply to ACT events.
This package is good for one-year from the time of purchase.
![]() Agility Handling This class will continue to build on your timing handling cues as well as increasing your dog's discrimination skills and learning more advanced handling options. This class is open to any team that is able to complete the equipment (guides or help are okay, but they need to be at regulation height or you will have to bypass it). Price will vary by the number of lessons in the class as our classes at Sirius Ranch are monthly instead of our traditional six-week at Bell Creek. |
Agility Handling classes at Sirius with instructor Patti Engleman can be found at Bell Creek Agility and Obedience - Classes & Day Training (dogbizpro.com)
