How It Works

  1. We come to your home and set up agility equipment designed for safety, confidence-building, and backyard spaces (jumps, tunnel, and low-impact obstacles)

  2. We guide you and your dog through fun, beginner-friendly exercises

  3. We build skills at your dog’s pace over time

We start all dogs on leash to build focus and understanding. As your dog gains confidence, we’ll safely work toward off-leash handling when appropriate. A fenced-in yard is helpful, but not required.

Phase 1: Introduction to Agility

We focus on building confidence, engagement, and introducing simple obstacles.

—-

Phase 2: Building Skills

Dogs begin combining obstacles and improving focus and handling.

—-

Phase 3: Advancing Confidence & Flow

We create short sequences and build more independence and responsiveness.

Dogs progress at their own pace — most dogs spend multiple sessions in each phase!

Flexible Training Options

  • Dog/Owner Team: Work together with your dog and learn how to handle obstacles

  • Dog-Focused: Have us work directly with your dog while you observe

Or a mix of both!

We’ll meet you where you and your dog are most comfortable

Safety First!

Before starting, we’ll ask a few quick questions about your dog to make sure agility is a safe and positive fit.

If needed, we’ll modify exercises or recommend a better starting point to keep your dog happy and injury-free.
