Evaluations

Classroom Behavior Evaluation
Golden Gate Dog Sports (GGDS) offers classroom behavior evaluations to help clients determine if their dog is appropriate for a classroom environment. Evaluations are NOT required - please review the GGDS Classroom Behavior Policy. However, if your dog has had any prior bite history please email behavior@ggdogsports.com

Should your team be excused from class for not meeting these requirements, no refund will be provided.

The following are pictures of students working in Adolescent Manners and Pre-Agility class to give you an idea of team distance and classroom set-up:

Skills Evaluation
If you have taken more than two sessions off in Advanced Obstacles or Handling and Obstacles, you are required to book a Skills Evaluation to ensure your team is appropriately placed in a class that fits your skill level and class criteria.

All first-time GGDS teams (dog and handler) are required to begin with our Pre-Agility course, regardless of previous agility experience. This ensures that every team, at any skill level, can thrive in our structured agility program.

Exceptions are working with a GGDS instructor privately at the facility, continuing to do frequent drop-ins or working with a known instructor elsewhere while on a break from GGDS. Pre-Agility and Introduction to Obstacles students are exempt from this policy.

General Info & Registration
Cost of a classroom behavior or skills evaluation: $80 / 30 min. Registration for evaluations are only made through our website using the registration button below. A confirmation email will be sent once registration is complete.
