All About Dog Sports!
Dog Sports classes are a great way to bond with your dog while providing your dog with the exercise and stimulation s/he needs to lead a full, happy life. They offer both dogs and handlers a challenge and then the opportunity to exhibit the skills they have learned along side other competitors in the sport. This is where dog and handler truly become a team.
Our dog sports classes prepare teams for competition although competition is not required. We have students that go regularly to trials and compete Nationally as well as some who just enjoy coming to class and learning new things with their dogs.
Before starting one (or more!) of our dog sports classes, we like to see teams complete the Basic Dog Obedience class here at our facility. We do many things in the class that prepare them for each sport. Teams that are already in sports classes at another facility or are already competing are invited to schedule a Private Lesson to determine where your and your dog best fit into our program.
Dog Agility Classes prepare teams to learn the obstacles and the handling required to run your dog around an agility course. Obstacles include the contacts (dogwalk, Aframe, teeter), weaves, tunnels, and jumps of all kinds. Dogs of all breeds and ages can participate in agility! (We keep the jumps very low and adjust our training for puppies to accommodate growing bodies.)
Our Rally Obedience classes are a fun and recommended for those teams that might want something a little less physically demanding than agility. Like agility, the dog and handler learn to work as a team, but using a different set of skills.
Treibball Classes teach dogs to push yoga balls towards a goal! Balls may be required to be pushed in a particular order and handlers learn to direct the dogs to the correct ball.
We also teach Tricks and Canine Fitness Training classes occasionally. If you are interested in one of these, please contact us to let us know!
