Agility helps promote problem solving skills, confidence building for more unsure dogs, while helping you strengthen your bond with your dog and helping you with more advanced commands for home!

For a more private experience, our 6,000sq ft yard can be rented for just you and your dog. This option is especially helpful if you have a more reactive dog and need more control of your environment, or if you are looking to compete and need less distractions.

To rent out the yard, please contact us for more information.

Once you no longer need training - cost reduces to $30/Hour

Walking is one of the best ways to build a strong bond and grow your relationship with your dog while also providing your dog with the physical and mental exercise they need. 

Walking your dog also provides ample opportunities for training, exposure, and just a great experience overall.​

But, some dogs have a harder time walking on a leash than others. Walking in large groups together helps guide dogs into a follow state, making it easier to work on leash training.

Sign up today and join Sage and our head trainer, Adam, as we show you some dog walking basics in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.

Pack Walks begin @ 2:30pm every Sunday starting on the stage near the grass

Cost: Always Free
