Agility For Dummies!

Join Us for our "Agility for Dummies" Meet-Up Group this August 19th from 10am-12pm!! Stacey Hawk of Hawk City K9 will be hosting an intro to agility session, presenting agility demonstrations, intro to obstacles session, and of course, a playgroup finale!

What is agility you ask? Well, according to Stacey, "it's the most fun you and your dog can have together!" Owners and their dogs learn how to work as a team to complete timed obstacle courses. During agility you have the chance to learn a wide range of obstacle skills in a fun, safe, environment! Any healthy dog, regardless of breed, size, sex and age can benefit and succeed in agility. Dogs enjoy this positive, stimulating outlet for all their excess energy while building their confidence!
