Expert Instructors

Our agility program has been designed by Kris Seiter and Chris Tucci, multi-world medalists and lead agility instructors with a combined 30 years experience in the sport of agility.

World-Class Facility

Train like the pros in our 20,000 SQF, indoor air-conditioned training facility. We have a 12,600 SQF turf arena (EPDM, no recycled tires) along with a 50 ft pool and plenty of outdoor space to get some fresh air.

Happy Dogs

We are not looking for compliance in our classes, but instead are looking for dogs to happily perform each task with great understanding and willingness. We do not allow correction based training.
