May 8, 2023Everyone wants to feel safe having their dog behave while off leash. But...dogs are dogs and sometimes find distractions difficult to ignore.
This 3 week class will explore ways to help your dog learn to listen and stay near you while not being leashed. We will practice heeling, recalls, impulse control, leave it, and other games to help your dog learn to love staying near you on your walks.

May 18, 2023Fast on the Flat is a division of Wag It Games - it is similar to Grounders in NADAC.
Tunnels, Hoops, and Barrels are the only obstacles. Dog tends to run faster as there are no jumps to take and no contacts to stop on. Which means, you need to have great communication between you and your dog. Your dog learns to drive forward; you learn to give earlier cues. Learn distance handling skills as well as regular agility handling skills.
Great for dogs just starting agility, as well as older dogs that no longer want to jump and run up A-frames. Also great practice for teams that are working on distance skills or want their dog to drive forward faster.
