Oh geez. No offense to the club but I HATE that. It can be good to have a solid sit and stay but I can't imagine what else in obedience class would really be that helpful to agility. Our classes started at the foundation level which helped teach sit/stays and recalls in terms of agility functions. Obedience and agility are really HUGELY different things and I'm always irked at places that require high levels of obedience BEFORE agility.

Tina starts people with very young puppies, puppies who don't even know their name, in the foundation stuff. And it all works great that way.
