Agility

Since we are an AKC affiliated club, our emphasis is on AKC agility. We do welcome mix breed dogs and offer training for USDAA and NADAC. We offer Beginner, Intermediate I and II, and Advanced Agility classes. The classes typically run for six weeks. Classes are taught using various stations to keep students busy with agility and not waiting in line.
