AGILITY TRAINING
Come and EmBark on your agility training journey with us!
Agility is a fantastic sport for active dogs (and owners!) in which they complete a course made up of various obstacles such as jumps, tunnels, seesaw, weaves and more. Agility is a fun activity to build connection with your dog, work on focus and listening skills and is great mental and physical stimulation.
The emphasis of our training classes is FUN and I try and create a friendly, supportive space for both dogs and owners to enjoy.
Our agility classes are held at our training field at The Balloon Tree, Gate Helmsley.
