Agility Programs
The American Kennel Club describes Agility as a dog sport where you direct your dog through a pre-set obstacle course within a certain time limit. We agree but also think it's a great way for you and your best friend to build a better bond, have fun and get some exercise. Our Programs are designed to let you expand your obedience in a fun and active setting.

All dogs must be a minimum of 5 months in age and be current on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella. We must have these records at least 5 days before check in.
All Agility Programs require full non refundable payment at time of registration.
POLICY ON MISSING AGILITY CLASSES:
We do not offer make-up classes for agility. Due to the setup involved and the fluidity of agility training it is not possible to offer a class that would make up for what could have been learned during any single missed class. However, we do offer private sessions in Agility at the rate of $100 for a 30 minute session and $135 for a 60 minute session.
