Dog Agility

 Agility is a sport, based on equestrian (horse) jumping events.  In agility, dogs and their handlers must negotiate an obstacle course racing for both accuracy and time.  Today, top agility dogs master the skills of speed, control, understanding and teamwork.  In our classes, we employ the techniques of, in our opinion, the best agility trainers in the world.  For reference, please 
review our Agility Bibliography.

Taking agility training classes with your dog is a great way to strengthen the bond between you and of course, to have fun!  Both you and your dog will get a great work out, and your dog will learn to do things you never imagined he/she could do!  ANY dog can learn agility.  At DOCOH we've seen them all, from tiny to huge - Corgis to Saint Bernards (no kidding!) - any dog can do it, even your dog!
