Have you watched Agility on TV and wonder if your dog could do it?

Does your dog have tons of energy and you think Agility would be a great outlet?

Agility is so much fun and highly addictive. We will guide from your dog's first jump all the way to competing in Agility Trials!

Almost everyone starts Agility as an outlet for their dogs energy, to increase the confidence of a shy dog or as a fun hobby that allows you to spend time outdoors training your dog. No matter what your motivation is, our classes will offer you:

Small groups of no more than 7 dogs so you can get enough repetitions.
Regulation size, well mantained and safe equipment.
Step by step method designed to build confidence so you will eventually be able to run a full course off leash.

You may sign up below to receive information on TRY-OUTS-DAYS, that is a mini lesson so you can see if your dog likes it, as well as local Agility Trials that you can come and watch.

We offer many different courses starting at Agility 101 which is an introductory course to help you decide if your dog really likes it, all the way to Competitive Agility where you will receive much more technical support to help you succeed in Agility trials.

All our classes are on a montly basis of $100 per month plus a one-time yearly equipment fee of $25 which also includes practice time in our Agility field free of charge. You and your dog will be "promoted" to the next level when you master the goals for that partcicular level.

If you have done some agility training and don't know which level you should join, we suggest you sign up, we suggest you sing up for a private session so the instructor can determine which level your dog should join.
