Dog Agility Classes

Benefits of Agility Training for Your Dog

Agility training provides multiple benefits to your dog and their health, including:

An Energy Outlet: Dog training is a perfect way to allow your dog the space to let loose and run around freely, while still achieving the goals of agility classes. Agility training can also be a mental release for your dog if they are frequently stressed, too.

Builds Confidence: As your dog goes through the agility classes, they will build their confidence as they bond with you and learn how to tackle obstacles and fears. They will also build confidence from being rewarded after each accomplishment.

Self-Control Development: While running around freely is great for your pet in general, dog agility classes help to harness their energy into a more controlled state. Dog training and agility practice teaches them how to control their energy and use it in a directed way when you ask them to complete a task.

Strengthens Instincts: All dogs are born with natural instincts that help to protect them in dangerous situations. But living in a domestic home where all of their needs are met for them, these instincts dull over time. Dog agility classes help to build their drive, allowing them to experience an environment similar to having to chase prey and be out in the wild.  

Builds a Strong Bond: Working with your canine during training helps to establish trust in the relationship between you and your dog. This will also build their confidence.
