Our Training Philosophy
Belroi Agility Club of Virginia is dedicated to the sport of agility, and the respectful treatment of our dogs. We offer all levels of agility classes, from complete beginners who want to have fun with their dogs, to the most advanced levels of competition. We believe agility is a “team” sport between dog and handler, and that it is important for both dog and handler to have fun and be challenged. We work hard to make that happen, whether you plan to compete or do agility just for fun.
Our Training Classes
Our classes are small, so that each handler-dog team receives individual attention. All training is positive – handlers use many rewards such as food and toys, no choke chains or corrections. The aim of our classes is for you and your dog to have fun together. Classes are taught by experienced trainers who actively compete in agility and have earned advanced titles with their dogs.
Our Training Facility
Our agility classes are held at Belroi Agility and Obedience Center using their 3 outdoor rings. Two rings contain AKC equipment – one ring has Standard equipment; the other ring has Jumpers with Weaves equipment. The third ring is smaller and perfect for beginners to become familiar with the various agility equipment.
