We offer dog agility classes for all levels from beginner to competition handling.
Dogs must be a minimum of 6 months old and have passed our Basic and Family Manners evaluation.
Those interested in our agility classes, that have trained their dog's basic manners elsewhere, may set up an evaluation with one of our instructors. The cost is $25. Please set up an evaluation time prior to registering for agility classes.
Private lessons are $65 per half-hour. These may be scheduled at additional times with any of our instructors.
To promote a safe and fun environment for all dogs and handlers, all dogs enrolled in these classes must be friendly with other dogs and humans. No refunds will be given if dog is enrolled and then shows aggressive behaviors. We offer private training for dogs with these behaviors.
