Agility

Agility offers a fun, fast paced, team sport for you and your dog. You will watch in amazement as your energetic canine learns how to navigate an obstacle course by jumping hurdles, climbing walls, zig zagging through weave poles, and darting through tunnels. What’s even more amazing is how YOU learn to navigate the same course with them.

For most classes, new students can now join every month. Each day and time agility is offered will be dedicated to that level indicated on the schedule.  Once your dog is ready to advance, you will change to the next level. You now pay by the month and have the ability to move at your own pace.
