There are no evaluation fees for agility.

Agility is a great tool to build self confidence in shy dogs as well as to release pent up energy in bouncy dogs. It helps to keep dogs in shape as well as getting them to think outside the box. No two runs are ever the same so dogs learn to pay more attention to their owners. A perfect outdoor activity, agility gives dogs and their owners something more to do than the basic SIT, DOWN, and STAY, building a stronger relationship between dog and human.

We are the only agility training in all of King's County. Classes are offered on Saturday mornings at the Waggin' Tails Dog Park just off Highway 198 in Lemoore, Ca. We are not a competing Agility Club, however, most obstacles are built to A.K.C. regulations to ease the transition for those dogs that may go on to compete.

Sign up for class at the Park & Recreation office at 435 "C" Street in Lemoore, CA
You may also sign up the day of class if space is available at Waggin' Tails Dog Park in Lemoore.
(Please contact us @ 559-817-9283 to ensure availability.)

Class Sizes are limited. Spaces are available on a first come first serve basis.
Please call Jennifer at (559) 817-9283 to ensure your participation in class.
