Practice Time Info & Sign-Up
To see when practice times are available and to sign up, click buttons at the bottom of this page.
IMPORTANT NOTES about ALL TYPES of PRACTICE TIMEs:
When registering for practice time, participants must verify that their dog is, or will be, CURRENT on Rabies, Parvo, and Distemper vaccinations during the duration of practice time or other activity. Participants accept full responsibility for meeting this criteria. We also encourage flea and tick preventative. This keeps our entire doggy community just that much healthier. Please consult with your veterinarian for your dog’s health needs.
A release form is required to be signed and submitted before attending any type of Practice Time. You will complete this upon online registration.
You don’t need to be a current or past TCCA student to attend practice time, as long as you meet the other requirements listed on this page.
There are no refunds for Practice Time. If you sign up, and are not able to attend, you can sell your spot to someone else, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements as shown on this page.

Agility Practice Time in The Gym is your chance to practice on regulation agility equipment with Great Mats for safe footing.
Numbered courses will be setup for your convenience. Or, feel free to create your own sequence using the equipment as it is set out on the floor.
Generally each team will get a minimum of three rounds of practice. If you want to run more than one dog, you must sign up and pay for each dog (unless you are going to split your three runs and run one dog once and the other dog twice, for example.)
For safety reasons, dogs should be proficient on all obstacles before attending Practice Time, having gone through at least the Intermediate Obstacle Skills class or equivalent.
A TCCA staff member will be on site to answer questions, but instruction is generally not given during Practice Times

If you have questions during practice, or would like guidance, staff will be available to help, but instruction is generally not given during practice time.
For safety reasons, dogs and handlers should have basic proficiency/knowledge about rat sports or be competing at the beginner/open level before participating in Rat Sports Practice Time.
