All lessons are conducted at our home-based training field. We generally plan for a lesson with one dog to be an hour long. Your dog typically will not be working the entire time, but you and your dog will come away from our lessons with a sense of accomplishment and that you learned something useful.

Every agility team is unique. Because of this, we offer concept-based training. We might use the latest copy of Clean Run or a textbook to set some plans or ideas, but your training will be personalized. Our broad range of experience allows us to facilitate handlers of all levels of competition by setting attainable and manageable goals. You have your own agility goals, and we will help you meet them, on your terms.

We believe in the value of private instruction. Group classes are a great social experience, but why pay for an hour of instruction when you spend half your time waiting for someone else to complete a sequence? Why deal with the disturbances of tardy students and unruly dogs? We know that your time and money are of great value to you, and we respect that. Private instruction helps not only build the bond between handler and dog, but also handler and instructor.

You can also use private lessons for troubleshooting. Having issues with snooker? Is it time for a distance handling refresher to pick up that pesky last gamblers leg? We can help. We've been there.

And we'll keep up with you, even after your lessons are done. We believe in following up with all our students to help maintain the level of performance you want. Train with us, and chances are that we'll spend some quality time together at a trial next weekend!

Our core services are:

  • Agility Instruction
  • Rally Obedience Instruction
  • Agility Handling Service

Our standard rate for private lessons is $50 an hour, which is a competitive rate in this area. If you have never trained with us before, but have trained with another facility in our area, you are eligible to receive your first two hours of training at the introductory rate of $35 an hour. We also have different rate schedules if you would like to come out and train with two or more of your friends for a small class which can save you even more.
