obstacles are set up. Beginners will learn the basics of canine agility and become

familiar with agility equipment and the basics of maneuvering the course. Advanced

students will be speeding up their dog’s responses and increasing his focus and ability

to follow directions at a distance. Agility is a great way to improve communication

with your dog, have fun, and exercise his body and mind! Your dog should have

dog need when out and about in public. This class will help ensure that your dog is well
