Our Exciting New Location for Dog Sports!
We are so excited to offer our next Agility and Dog Sports classes at our brand new location, Kissler Dressage: a 13,000 square foot covered Arena with soft footing! (Yes, you heard that right: 20 by 60 meters…66 feet by 197 feet…13,000 square feet of space!!! ) This gives you and your dog the option to run full size courses…rain or shine! For the Dog Sports classes, we can also do our Scent Work classes in a fenced field and along a beautiful creek on the property.
Come join us as we explore the possibilities of this fantastic new location…about 30 minutes drive from the inner suburbs, just north of the scenic Manassas Battlefield area.
Beginner Agility
Agility is a dog sport that challenges your dog physically and mentally. And it’s not just about your pooch mastering the jump, the tire, the tunnel, the weaves etc., but also about running the course in perfect order, without mistakes, following Your cues. You and your dog truly become a team!
If you are interested in trying Agility, you are in luck! Your instructor will be dog sports extraordinaire, Joseph Tolsma. He will teach you all the proper handler skills; you are your dog will have the foundation to even start on a path toward competitive agility, if you like…or just do it for the fun of it, but do it right, working is a tightly knit team with your canine partner.
In order to be successful in this class, you must have some off leash control over your dog; that is, the ability to keep your dog focused on you, and coming when called, rather than running up to the other dogs and just wanting to play.
Dates and times: Sunday afternoons at 4pm on 4/28, 5/5, 5/12, 5/19 and (skipping Memorial weekend) 6/2. One missed class can be made up in the next session. $349. Limited class size; act now while there is still availability, we cannot add a second class. Sign up below.
Intermediate Agility
For those that have taken our Introductory Agility classes (or similar at another school). We take it to the next level in this class: introducing new equipment, learning the intricacies of entering and running weaves correctly, and practicing front, back and blind crosses as you and your talented K9 athlete run full courses on our new spacious field!
