Agility Classes
Canine Agility
is a rapidly growing sport. While opportunities abound for competitive
performance where you may earn titles for your dog in agility, it is
basically a positively fun activity for you and your dog. Agility
builds confidence, coordination, relationship, and training skills with
your canine companion.
Claudia runs agility with her
companion dogs. Her veteran Husky, Maggie was a lost dog when she
was rescued and began her training in Germany. A pre-requisite
for entering agility in Germany requires each dog pass an obedience
test which
includes heeling, stay, and recall.
