Agility for Fun Classes
 
Our Agility for Fun classes provide a unique combination of obstacle training, obedience work, and exercise for the mind and body.  These non-competition classes focus on stress-free learning for handler/dog teams.  You'll be amazed by how much your dog's obedience improves in this environment and how quickly your ability to work well as a team develops. 
 
Basic Prerequisites:
 
  • Dogs must be socially tolerant of people and dogs.
  • Dogs must be healthy, free from injuries, arthritis, hip dysplasia or joint problems.
  • Dogs must be physically fit, neither under or overweight, and exercised on a regular basis.
