Bring treats and toys to reward your dog for their good work.  You may wish to bring a crate for your dog to rest in the shade when you are not actively playing with him.  Chairs are available, but you may wish to bring your own. There is a (potable) water hose and pool/trough available to get them wet, but bring your own bowl.   And always bring poop bags to clean up after your pet.

As you enter the property you will see the agility fields to the left.  Come up the left hand side of the drive and turn left into the pasture to park.  You can either work out of your car or set up your crate in the shade.  On the table by the ring you will find a black box with information in it.  Please read, fill out and sign a waiver and the Field Rules on the back before using the equipment.  Place your payment in the marked envelope in the box. Then go have fun.   If specific courses are set up there may be maps in the box.   If you move jumps around, please put them back to their original location for the next person.  Here is a video of what you will see.

Of course!

We post challenging exercises, event updates and other dog related nuggets of wisdom or fun.    

Learn more about our Canine Performance Events (CPE) Agility and other events by following and liking our business FaceBook page. 

And join our FaceBook Group to hear the latest news and engage with other Practice Makes Pawfect people.

Yes!  Please come see what agility is about!  We are a friendly crowd that is eager to talk about our dogs and our sport.

The first time, I suggest you leave your dog at home.  That way you can relax and talk with people without worrying about upsetting a competing dog that needs to focus.  Also, there are areas you might want to check out where dogs are prohibited.  Once you get the lay of the land, then well-behaved non-competing dogs are welcome to spectate.   It helps to bring kennel, treats, toys, bowls, shade, etc to keep your dog comfortable.

Periodically we have Fun Runs ("practice competitions"), Seminars, Workshops and other educational events.

Structured Practice is a self-paced learning program that uses predefined weekly exercises to help you improve your skills.    You can come out multiple times a week to work through the exercises as described in written instructions.

And you can rent Practice Makes Pawfect for your own event or get-together!

Yes, you can!  In addition to the hourly rentals available through the website, you can hold your own events here.  Contact us for details on full or multiple day rates.
