We are now offering Drop-in Agility Classes. Come out and have some Safe, Fun & Structured playtime!
Everyone stays on leash and the area is fenced in. Much safer than a dog park. Plus we have a Certified Trainer there to help and answer questions.
No obedience or agility skills required to join in the fun!!
You can either come and learn how to play or if you've done our class or agility before - you can come run the full course.
Sorry no aggressive dogs!
Puppies are encouraged to come out and socialize and play on the obstacles!
Perfect way to give your dog or puppy some mental stimulation!
" 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
PRIVATE AGILITY LESSONS
We offer private agility lessons to any dog any age. If your dog is too aggressive to be around other dogs but would really enjoy agility - this is perfect for you.
Also great for dogs who are fearful or other dogs or people, puppies who need some confidence building or any dog who just needs to get out and play
We will customize your session around your dog! Come out and play!!
"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!" - Kayle & Molly the Mastiff
"So tired from XDog!!"
Want to try agility but can't run with your dog?
Do you have TWO dogs and want to bring them both?
We have
ASSISTED AGILITY!
What this means is there will be an assostant handler assigned to you and will do the running with your dog during the course.
If you have two dogs, the assistant will work with one dog while you the other.
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 may be required. (options available)
If you cannot run with your dog, during the later phase of the course when your dog will start to run through the equipment – the assistant handler will take over. You can sit on the side-lines and cheer your dog on!!
An extra fee of $50 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 bringing two dogs - the price equals out because of our 50% 2nd dog discount.
If you are interested in being an assitant handler let me know. A full commitment to the 6 week course is required.
