Agility
Agility is designed to demonstrate a dog's willingness to work with its handler in a variety of situations. It is an athletic event that requires conditioning, concentration, training and teamwork. Dog and handlers negotiate an obstacle course racing against the clock!
Do you watch agility competitions on television and marvel, envying the communication between dog and handler?
Do you dream of watching your own dog zip through the tunnel and fly over the A-Frame?
Agility might be for you!
AGILITY OFFERS A GREAT WAY TO BOND AND EXERCISE WITH YOUR DOG - BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY!
REQUIREMENT: DOGS MUST BE AT LEAST ONE YEAR OLD FOR AGILITY CLASSES!
