Agility
Agility is a fun sport for both dog and handler. Jumping hurdles, racing through tunnels, weaving through poles are just a few of the fun things your dog will learn to do in agility. It's a wonderful way for you and your dog to keep fit and meet lots of great people. Mary Zacharatos and Phil Zacharatos are active AAC judges, and we have at least two trials a year. Class registration occurs every two months.

What we do in Agility Classes
In agility classes you will learn how to train your dog to perform the many pieces of equipment they will encounter on an agility course: tunnels, jumps, weave poles, teeter, dogwalk, A-frame and table. We want you and your dog to have fun and all exercises will be age appropriate so all dogs - old and young - can play. . We should probably warn you that agility is addictive! Once you start, you won't want to stop!
