Planet K9 Agility
So much FUN for YOU and your DOG!
Agility training is a super fun way to bond with your dog. This is because you must work as a team! While your dog learns to negotiate a series of complex obstacles, your skill as a handler improves. It is wonderful to watch our agility teams develop. Planet K9 has 4 levels of agility training and holds regular agility fun competitions for our members. Please read through the course descriptions to find the one that suits you and your dog. We have 4 semester of training. Bookings are now open for 2020.Each course consists of 5 group classes and class size is limited to 8 dogs. If you miss out on booking a January course you will need to wait until the end of February to join. If you can't decide which course level suits your dog please give Nicole a call on 0405 772 225 or click here to send a query.
