Unleash Your Dog's Athleticism With Our Agility Classes!

Agility is a competitive canine sport in which dogs and handlers navigate obstacles, such as jumps, tunnels, weave poles and are judged on their ability to complete those obstacles with accuracy and speed. This discipline tests the dog’s fitness and obedience, as well as the handler’s training and handling abilities.

Beyond the competitive aspect, dog agility stands out because it fosters a deep bond between handler and dog, offers both mental and physical exercise, and instills a sense of achievement and teamwork that goes beyond merely winning ribbons or
titles.
