Lessons
​
All breeds (mixed or pure) are welcome to join our group!
Please come dressed for the weather as lessons are held on foam rubber matting in an unheated concrete building. Clean inside shoes are required. No outside shoes are allowed on the matting.
All participants are expected to help set up and put away any equipment.
It is recommended that large breeds be at least 12 months before any serious training. Please consider your dog's breed and size. Large dogs' growth plates take longer to close. At a young age, dogs should not be jumping any higher than their hocks.
Lessons are held at 8465 Buchanan Road, Coldstream ("The Bunker")

​
If you can't find a group class we have several experience instructors who would be happy to help you find the right match for your and your dog. We teach intro to agility, handling at all levels, weave poles and beginning contacts. Private lessons are 30 minutes with your and your pooch in with your instructor. This is a wonderful option for many teams.
