AGILITY CLASSES

Agility is a fun-filled, fast-action sport in which dogs jump, climb and weave their way through various obstacles under the direction of their owners. Dogs of all shapes and sizes, pure and mixed bred, can participate in the sport of agility. The positive nature of agility allows many fearful dogs to gain confidence while learning agility skills.

Beginning agility classes are designed to teach the dog how to perform each obstacle safely and correctly. Intermediate and advanced classes put more emphasis on the handler’s ability to communicate the desired sequence of events to the dog, and perfecting obstacle performance. Students range from individuals looking for a fun way to exercise and play with their dogs to championship-level teams.

Ace, Peggy, Bonus and Q had a great week at the 2007 AKC Aussie Nationals.

Agility classes are taught by Peggy Timm, DVM, founder of Paws Zone Agility. Peggy has over 15 years of teaching and training experience. Beginner classes also have an additional assistant instructor, allowing students more one-on-one time with a trainer.

Agility classes are held at Tracy’s Doggone Farm in Wadsworth, Illinois. Private lessons are available through arrangement with the instructor. Please contact Peggy for details on upcoming classes.
