Overview
Companion & Fun Agility Class – Build Confidence, Skills, and Smiles!
Looking for a light-hearted, engaging activity to enjoy with your dog? Our Companion & Fun Agility Class is the perfect way to strengthen your bond while introducing your dog to the exciting world of agility; without the pressure of competition.
This class focuses on confidence-building, teamwork, and safe obstacle exploration. Dogs will get to try tunnels, jumps, hoops, wobble boards, contacts, and more, all at a pace tailored to their comfort and ability. Whether your dog is brand-new to agility or just wants a playful outlet, this class provides plenty of mental stimulation, physical exercise, and joyful moments.
Handlers will learn all the core handling skills and monoverses, seen in competition style, but you will progress at your own pace. So, whether you want to dabble in competitions at some point, or just want to have some fun with your dog this class suits all.
