NEW CLASS: Agility Foundation 1

Cowtown Dog Sports and Taming the Wild Side Dog Training are pleased to announce that we are starting dog agility classes! Agility is a fun and challenging sport where the handler and the dog must work together as a team to negotiate an obstacle course. Whether training for competition or just for fun, we at Cowtown Dog Sports believe that training should be fun for both you AND your dog. Our goal is to strengthen the bond between you and your dog using force free methods. Private lessons are also available upon request.

Foundation 1 classes will be held outdoors in a large enclosed area (with some shade available) and will cover the foundation work necessary for agility. The second level of foundation will continue for another 6 weeks after the first level is completed and teams may then continue into Advanced Beginner when they are ready as determined by the instructor.

Trainer: Robin Barber

Location: Cowtown Dog Sports
