Welcome to "The X-Dog Agility Challenge"

XDog Coverage in Colleyville Courier

" I just wanted to let you know how much fun Anna & I had at this class. She had such a big smile on her face the whole ride home after each class.

She learned SO much and gained a lot of confidence both being around the other people and dogs and doing the new obstacles.

I can't thank you enough for letting my fearful girl participate and all the patience you had with her and help you gave me. I can't wait to sign us up for the next class."

--Andie and Anna the Border Collie

Hall of Fame!



"The X-Dog class is a blast! Molly’s focus after working with her has increased as well as my confidence as a dog owner. It always brings a smile to my face to see my 125 pound girl jump with such grace and happily tromp through the tunnel!

I love that we are all there to have fun and all cheer each other on! I would take the same class ever year, and Molly would show up with a doggie grin and leave pleased with her self and pass out as soon as we got home!"

Thanks for providing us with a great experience!"

    ***ASSISTED AGILITY PROGRAM! ***
    Want to try agility but you can't run with your dog?

    • Ask about "Assisted Agility".... What this means is there will be a handler assigned to you and will do the running with your dog during the course.

    • This is offered at any class location, however you must request this in advance.

    • This does not mean you can drop your dog off.  Your help will be needed.  Building confidence in your dog and helping your handler is encouraged during the first introduction phase of the course.  Some standing will be required.

    • However during the later phase of the course when your dog will start to run through the equipment – the handler will take over.  You can sit on the side-lines and cheer your dog on!!

    • An extra fee of $45 will be added to the course fee for this program – however the enjoyment, photos and fun your dog will have is priceless!!

    • If you are interested in being a handler and want to make a couple of bucks for shopping, let me know.  A full commitment to the 6 week course is required.

    ***FUN-GILITY PROGRAM! ***
