| Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. When in competition, dogs run off-leash with no food or toys as incentives, and the handler can touch neither dog nor obstacles. Consequently the handler's controls are limited to voice, movement, and various body signals, requiring exceptional training of the animal and coordination of the handler. Agility is a wonderful way to build your dog's confidence, your ability to read your dog's body language, and your ability to direct your dog's behavior. For those reasons alone, agility is worth trying out. But the main benefit is that it is an extremely FUN way for you and your dog to practice communication. |
| I offer small group classes in beginner agility where you and your dog will be introduced to the various obstacles you will see on the agility course. The class is taught in a fun, relaxed manner with an emphasis on keeping the dogs safe and ensuring that they enjoy the process. For those looking for advanced instruction I offer private lessons. I also rent ring time/equipment for those looking to practice on their own. I have a complete set of equipment including an A-frame, Dog walk, closed and open tunnels, Teeter, Pause Table, various jumps and weave poles. |
