Agility in Ontario

[kahlua]

I have searched the internet trying to find agility training schools in my area. I live in the GTA (York Region) and I have found only a couple. One is in Barrie and the other in Tottenham. Does anyone know of any others in my area? Also, how much do these types of classes cost?

I was doing a search online a while back and I found
http://www.kwk9.com/. They're located in Kitchener.

It's not that close but they do have a drop in puppy class on sundays. You can just go and let your inexperienced dog or puppy
play in a safe indoor environment.

This is copied from thier website:

Non-impact Agility - Every Sunday (except the long weekend)
$15 per/class No need to pre-register. **Proof of vaccination required**
Designed for puppies and dogs that have no agility experience.

You could start your search at http://www.aac.ca, the Agility Association of Canada. They have an AAC club listing by province.

We participate in Agility currently and we LOVE it. I am hoping to compete with Owen within the next few months (once he is solid on his teeter totter!).

The agility classes that we take vary in price. In the winter our club has a heated ring and we pay $120.00 for an eight week session. In the summer it's cheaper, around $100.00 for an eight week session. As you get higher in the levels the price does go down a little because you are more likely to continue comming back and using the club...

Good luck with your search.

Thanks. I did a search of the Agility Association but couldn't find any close enough. I was wondering if anyone took classes in the area. Kitchener is pretty far from me. I have a friend who has a friend who breeds boxers and she knows of classes in Aurora so I hopefully can put her in there. I still need more information.

If you find any place local to the GTA (I live in downtown toronto) PLEASE let me know! I'd rather not drive an hour to go to agility classes either.

I saw this post, and I have e-mailed the Canadian Professional Dog Trainers Association to see if they know of anyone or any organization in the GTA. Will let you know if and when they respond.

Great, thank you! I just found one agility center in Brampton, Ontario but it's still almost an hours drive!

I am using campaigndogacademy.com in Brampton it is a great school. In the next few months they will be moving to a ten acre facility in Georgetown. Good luck with your search.

Okay finally I got an answer on GTA agility contacts from the Canadian Professional Dog Trainers. What I will do is e-mail a copy of the message to each of you posters as it does contain a personal phone contact. If anyone else is interested let me know and I will e-mail it to you as well.

Kahlua and Kysha I tried e-mailing the info to you, but it says you are not receiving e-mails via the BW forums. If you could e-mail me I can then send the info to you. TY
Leeta's mom I sent it to you!! Hope it helps
