Agility is one of the fastest-growing dog sports in the country—and for good reason. It’s incredible exercise for both you and your dog, and it forges an even deeper relationship between you. Plus, it’s exhilarating to watch as your dog nimbly and quickly crawls through tunnels, weaves around poles, and leaps through tires!
Andy will be offering multiple levels of Agility from Beginner to Competition
Intro to Dog Agility 1
Tuesday and Thursday Classes
Jumps and Tunnels and a Table
In our entry-level class, we’ll give you and your dog a sampling of the exciting world of agility
competition. In this series of classes dogs will learn how to perform a variety of jumps, tunnels
and an agility table as well as how to take direction from their humans. Humans will learn about
some of the major aspects of dog agility, how to help their dog learn the agility obstacles and
how to guide their dog through a series of those obstacles. Some other essential skills for
agility – come when called, sit, stay, go around things, human and dog body awareness, – will
also be covered. (Also, humans will learn how you can train your dog at home with common
household items.) T5he bond between you and your dog will grow deeper as you learn these
basics together!

for fun or for competition, we’ll help you work on the next important aspect of agility, your

you understand how to navigate through them. The bond between you and your dog will grow
even more as your team learns these more complex sequences.
