Agility

Is your dog happy, gets along well with other dogs, energetic, enjoys running and responds well to direction? Agility may be you and your dogs new interest!

Agility is one of the fastest growing dog training sports in the country which consists of a handler directing a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy.

Agility Foundations focuses on introducing obstacles and teaching key behaviors your dog will need to navigate an agility course!

You will learn all about agility obstacles, how to handle your dog on equipment and the basics for guiding your dog around an agility course.

Every breed has a standard of how they should look, move, and even act.  Here at Under the Sun we want to help you not only learn about your breed standard, but also the rules and procedures of an AKC dog show. Most importantly how to present your dog to the best of your ability.  We will teach you to be a great frame for your beautiful picture of the dog!
