Agility Training

dog agility training in Northern Virginia?

does any one know of a good place for agility training in Northern Virginia, classes in the afternoon or evening? They must allow teens to be the handler of the dog! Thanks!

It is SO great that you want to do agility with your dog!
I suggest you look in to getting a Junior Handler card from the AKC if your dog is at least a purebred.
Here is some more information on that program:

Otherwise you can look in to teen handling with the USDAA or NADAC agility clubs.

Here are the Clean Run listings for clubs in the Virginia area:

Here is a great club I would highly recommend in Arlington:

Or, in Loudoun:

I CANNOT suggest and I strongly suggest against going with Capital Canines in Arlington...these are bad, bad people.

Good luck and have fun!!!!!
