Dog Agility Training at Mountain View

The fastest growing canine sport in the world, canine agility provides both physical and mental challenges to both dog and handler. Agility cements the dog-human bond in a way no other sport does. The teamwork needed in agility is demanded by no other sport in which dogs and humans jointly participate. Because teamwork is the key to being successful in agility, and because the dog is off lead during competition, the dog must love agility, and must love doing it with his handler.

At Mountain View, this is the goal for which we continuously strive when training our dogs. There is no place in agility training for forceful or unpleasant methods--a purely positive approach must be taken to assure that the dog thoroughly enjoys every aspect of the sport.

Our dog agility training classes are conducted outdoors, weather permitting, year-round.

Mountain View is located in Amissville VA, roughly an hour from Washington D.C., in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our equipment is regularly safety tested by Saint Bernards and other smaller but more vigorous dogs. Observers are welcome at our classes.
