GET STARTED

Michelle will get you started and make sure your dog is able to follow basic commands such as sit, lie down, come, and stay. Next, begin to help your dog through the course. Michelle will teach him to crawl through tunnels, jump over hurdles and through tires. Even help him weave through poles.

Although agility training is best started with a young adult dog, some agility training can be appropriate for young puppies; this includes tunnel work, jumps lower than elbow height, and basic control training. ... Most dogs are able to participate and do well in agility until they reach 8-10 years of age.

“Agility gives me another language in which to communicate with my dog Nola.
It helps Nola build confidence and provides an outlet for her boundless energy.
Agility with Michelle helps us focus on having fun as a team!”
— Claire
