Agility Dog Training Courses in the Los Angeles Area
Agility courses for dogs began as a form of entertainment and has since become a popular dog sport. In an agility course, dogs weave through poles, run up and down A-frames, cross suspended dog walks and traverse through tunnels. There are many companies in Los Angeles that offer agility training and have fixed courses or else set up mobile courses in parks.
