Ramona Cartwright is a very accomplished in agility training and competition. We feel very fortunate to have her here at Canine Sports.  This class is tailored to the dogs in the class.  The dogs must already have been introduced to all of the equipment. Sequences will be put together. Dogs should have a good recall as they will be working the course off leash.  Also this agility class is for those dogs who are currently showing. We work on what they need and have not been successful at along with new skills to use in trials. Dogs must be familiar with the contacts (not doing weaves is okay) and good around other dogs,
