| Classes - Agility
Almost
any dog can compete in agility regardless of breed or mixture.
All classes stress the importance of keeping the activity fun and
rewarding for the dog, and likewise for the handler. The outcome
is an advanced level of communication with the dog using verbal
commands, hand signals, and body cues.
Our agility classes are
geared to prepare you and your dog for eventual competition. But,
if you just want a fun activity to do with your dog, check out an
agility class. Your dog should know the basics of obedience, or
have gone through a Puppy Kindergarten class.
