Agility

Agility is only held in the spring, summer and fall.

Is your dog full of energy, has a hunger to run and loves to jump high? Or perhaps your dog just wants to have fun and you don't have the space in your backyard to set up a course.

Come and join us in these 8 week courses for Bounder to weave, leap, jump over bars, crawl through tunnels and have fun. This is a great class for you and your dog to reinforce teamwork and for you to learn how to give direction and guidance using positive reinforcement.
