Is agility a good way for my dog to lose weight?

Your dog needs to be in good shape prior to starting agility training. Agility is a sport and your dog is an athlete. Jumping is physically hard on a dog so it's best to keep them fit and trim. 

​

Can any dog dog do agility?

Yes, lots of different breeds do agility. The main importance is that your dog is fit and trim enough to perform such tasks

​

No sorry, 1 dog per person per class

Parking is along newton street, unfortunately we are not allowed more than the trainers vehicles on our grounds
