Here are answers to the most common questions we get. If you have more, just ask!
All our instructors actively compete in the sports they teach and bring years of hands-on expertise to every class.
We teach ALL dogs. We do not discriminate against breed or type.
You can browse all our classes and sign up directly through our online booking system—it's quick and easy! Have questions first? We're happy to help via phone, email, or Facebook.
Bring soft, small treats (lots!), a 6-foot leash (no retractable), a flat collar or harness, water for your dog, and a hungry pup—skip breakfast so they're motivated!
Dogs must be current on parvo/distemper and rabies. Puppies need their second parvo shot before starting. Kennel cough and parasite prevention are recommended but not required.
Dogs of any age can start Agility 1! We introduce obstacles at their easiest settings. For jumping and more intense work, we recommend waiting until your dog is physically mature (usually 12-18 months depending on breed).
We can work with reactive dogs! We manage them with distance and aids, or recommend private lessons until they're ready for group classes. Truly aggressive dogs are referred to specialists.
Please bring your dog's food, any medications, and comfort items. We'll provide the rest—including care, training, and fun!
