Agility - Have you watched agility on TV? Seeing those dogs run through tunnels, fly over jumps and wiggle through poles makes you wonder if your dog has what it takes? Harness your dog's potential and have a great time in our Beginner Agility class. This 8 week class will begin to expose your dogs to the agility obstacles, and teach you the fundamental handling maneuvers that you will need to successfully communicate with your dog on course. This class will give you the opportunity to harness your dog's skill and energy into a pastime that is fun and rewarding for both of you.

About the instructor:
Mary Waugh Swindell has been training dogs for 18 years, and has been involved in agility since 1993. She has been seen on Animal Planet with her Doberman Devon performing Freestyle dancing, and is now currently competing with Devon's son, Cassanova, in agility. Cassanova has competed in and won the 60 weave poll challenge in the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Regional Championships. While her students have achieved agility Championships in many venues, the main goal of her classes is for the owners and the dogs to have fun together as they learn to become a successful team.
