        Dog Agility helps your dog become physically fit, confident, responsive to your commands, and well coordinated while having lots of fun at the same time. Our agility classes are both for fun, and for people wanting to continue to the highest levels of competition. Check out our Agility Champions in the Agility Cool Critters page.

        We offer Dog Agility classes for all levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Masters. Basic Agility teaches the dog to negotiate all the equipment safely. In the Intermediate, Advanced, and Masters classes you will learn to be a better handler. We teach AKC, USDAA,  NADAC, and UKC  agility.

 

        The Cool Critters Agility group sponsors two NADAC trials a year (in the Spring and Fall). We also host a USDAA trial with a Dog Agility Masters tournament. We are charter members of DACOF (Dog Agility Competition of Florida).  We send two teams to the annual competition. In the first competition which took place in June 2001, our Cool Team placed third and the Critter Team placed fourth. We were the only organization in the state that finished with its two teams in the top five. In the second tournament which took place in June 2002, our Critter Team took home the second place. In DACOF 2006, the Cool Team took home the third place trophies. In this year's competition, DACOF 2008,  the Cool Team placed fifth, and the Critter Team placed seventh. We are very proud of all our students!
