Agility
Agility is the fastest growing dog sport, where dogs learn to navigate obstacles such as jumps, tunnels, teeters and weave poles. Whether you are looking to compete, or just have fun with your dog, dog agility is the thing for you. It greatly improves the bond and connection with your dog, and helps your dog become more focused and well-behaved outside of class. There is no team like an agility team!
​
A Dog In Motion taught agility classes and private lessons in Pasadena, CA for years. We recently moved to the North San Diego County area. We are excited to continue teaching agility classes to new and experienced handler teams in the area. Currently we are using a lovely field in Escondido, CA for our lessons.
​
All dogs, whatever shape or size, can excel at agility. Even as they are learning to follow their handlers around the course, they are just having fun playing with their humans. Agility classes are a great way to both mentally and physically satisfy the needs of high-energy dogs. They are also an amazing confidence builder in shy dogs. But beware, agility is highly-addictive!
At A Dog in Motion we believe that agility should be about more than earning ribbons and titles. It's about having fun and spending time with your dog, while improving your bond and connection. So come and play!
