Agility is an obstacle course for dogs - and what fun it is!  Teach your dog to go through tunnels, go through hoops, and walk the plank. Most dogs really enjoy Agility, and their owners do, too!
  We teach Agility classes. From beginner to advanced. Come out and join the fun with your dog. Our experienced instructors will guide you all the way.  Check our calendar for upcomming classes.

Tip Of The Month
 
  Last month we talked about video tapeing your runs.  The past two months in Clean Run, they have talked about video cameras.  I would like to add some stuff to what they have said. 
  When my wife video tapes me,  she used a mono pod.  It is like a tri pod, except it only has one leg.  She tends to gt more nervous then I when I am running and she gets a bit shakie.  With the mono pod, the camera is steady, you have a bit more freedom of movement, and if you are in a grand stand, it is much easier to find a spot to video tape with out having 3 legs to worry about.
  We also keep the the sound on.  Kind of fun to here the excitement, and comments when you have a good run. 
  When I video tape for someone else, I like to keep both handler and dog in the frame and zoom in and out to keep both in the view finder.  Sometimes you want to be able to see what went wrong.  Why did the dog drop the bar, or did they get in the contact zone?  Or was I in the right spot to do my front or rear cross.  If you are zoomed way out, you will not be able to tell what went wrong.  And if you have a great run, It is fun to see the smile on your face.
