Agility is a sporting event in which one dog and one human work together as a team to successfully navigate a course made up of jumps, tunnels, a dogwalk, teeter totter, an Aframe, weavepoles and other obstacles. A great way to bond with your canine companion!
We offer competitive and family fun classes!

This class will focus on running small sequences, jumping skills, and contact performance. This particular intermediate class will also be focusing on weave pole training.
Advanced Agility Skills
The Advanced Class will work on four areas of agility every week.
HANDLING
Front Crosses, Rear Crosses, Lead Out Pivots, serpentines, and threadles, are just a few of the handling techniques we will cover in this workshop! We will be working a series of small sequences and focusing our handling techniques. The small sequences help with handler confidence and dog motivation!
This workshop is open to dogs that have completed a minimum of level one agility and are able to complete multiple obstacles in a row.
JUMPING
we will be teaching the dogs how to jump properly and to carry themselves over a jump effortlessly. EVERY dog can benefit from jump grids. Seasoned dogs and top handlers will regularly set up jump grids before and after competition.
WEAVE POLES
continuing education and proofing of our weave pole performance
PLUS adding obstacles before and after weave poles
CONTACTS

Puppy Gym Class
The perfect program to compliment your puppy's obedience training.
This class is FUN! FUN! FUN!
Each Class will be focusing on 4 areas of learning for the puppies.
Agility and Body Work
Introduction to safe "puppy agility equipment". Going through tunnels, and walking on new surfaces will help build confidence as well as teach your dog about its body and how to use it safely! (Dogs need to know they have a rear-end and how to use it!) All equipment is safe for puppies over 12 weeks of age.
Motivational and Relationship Building Games
Some of the things you and your puppy will learn are...
- puppies learn how to play with toys properly
- owners learn how to interact with their puppies when using toys
- how to teach the puppy to give a toy up when asked ( "out" or "drop it" )
- puppies learn that the the owners initiate and end all games
- puppies learn to bring the toy back to the owner
Play Time
Supervised play in a safe fenced in area will allow the puppies to interact with other puppies and learn some "doggie social skills". This is something there is not always time for in our regular puppy class situation.
Massage/Relaxation Time
After getting the puppies excited with toys, treats and play...it is now time to teach them to settle. We will be massaging the puppies and teaching them to accept touch. It is important to know that when your puppy is a little older, you will be able to touch/examine any part of their body with out them getting upset or aggressive.
