Agility is a sport in which a dog runs through a timed obstacle course under the guidance of the handler. Our Agility training strengthens the bond between dog and handler, and provides fun and exercise for both. Agility is a fast paced sport and is a lot of fun to watch and to participate in.

The atmosphere at these events is relaxed (unless you're actually running) and friendly. The action is usually non-stop.

In addition to offering the first steps to a possible Hollywood career and huge benefits in good behavior, completing the course strengthens the bond between pet and owner and will amaze and astound all who see them!
