Agility
Have you been looking for a fun way to continue training your dog? Would you like to burn more of your dog’s energy as well as build a stronger bond?
Then these are the classes for you!
Our facility has special agility flooring. These mats provide excellent grip and traction, adds maximum comfort for dogs and handlers, and gives more joint support. Sessions run year round in our state of the art 2400 square foot training facility! We run classes to accommodate each dog’s needs keeping into consideration their age, level of training, temperament, and physical capabilities. The obstacles are safe and offer no harm or risk to their temperaments, or physical condition (such as joints).
You must have completed a Level One Program in a group setting or be pre-approved before booking into Sport classes. Some dogs struggle in group settings without previous experience. So, I just ask you to email me your dogs experience, training style taught and I will let you know if you qualify to go right into a class. All dogs must be dog and people friendly due to the nature of the program. Any dogs that are vocal non stop or show leash reactivity towards other dogs or owners will be removed with no refund. Dogs over 8 months must be spayed or neutered to attend our classes, unless discussed prior with the trainer.
The first video shows clips of a range of our agility clients in all levels from Starters Agility to Advanced Plus Agility.
(It has background music, so please check your volume setting before playing.)
At the time of filming this video, these clients were doing this for bonding, and confidence building but since then, some of them have competed.
Enjoy!
Second video shows clips of an off site field trip.
At the time of this video these clients were working towards competitive agility and this was their dogs first time working on agility outside of my dog school. Since this video, some of these dogs are competing successfully.
All the dogs have different backgrounds, some started classes with me in my puppy program, some were rescues that were people and dog aggressive or reactive, some were scared of their own shadow.
The sky is the limit with time and patience within my program!
