Agility

Agility while fun and fabulous
exercise for both dog and
owner has certain elements that
MUST be observed. Ours
classes attempt to be enjoyable,
but safety is of the utmost
concern.

So all dogs must have a basic
level of owner control and the
owners must be willing to listen
and take direction from the
instructor.

All teams must be interviewed
(or have prior class graduation)
before enrolling.

Lessons not learned can cause
problems at faster speeds and
higher levels of classes, so
while it may seem a bit sever it is
for the protection of you, your
dog, and other class mates as
well as equipment. Call for
appointment.
