Agility Training Additional Services
To keep sporting breeds and high energy dogs well balanced and happy requires lots of mental and physical exercise. Playing with the pack is sometimes not enough to challenge these active dogs. Dogs that can not play with the pack, for whatever reason, also need new ways to remain active. To provide another level of activity we are now offering an agility training service for our daycare and boarding dogs.

Agility Training Equipment Used
The type of agility equipment being used will depend on the needs of each dog. Agility tunnels, A-frames, hoops, hurdles, weave polls and an elevated cat-walk are all available. All dogs will be introduced to our agility course and will be closely monitored by a trainer with extensive experience in agility training.
Keep your dog active and mentally challenged with agility training. You will thank us when you have a happy and tired pup at the end of the day!

Yazmin Lopez
My name is Yazmin,
I was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico.
Since I was a child I have always loved dogs and becoming a dog trainer now is like a dream come true.
My duty as a trainer is to not only build a strong bond between owners and their pets, but to educate them on the method of positive reinforcement training and behavior modification. This is my way of contributing a little to society by making dogs great furry family members.
In addition to my contribution to society, I volunteered for two years in Nuevo León, Mexico for an animal shelter. My experience also extends to agility training.
My husband and I founded a pet care and BARF food company back home in Mexico. We live, breath, and sleep dogs and dedicated our lives to making the world a better place by training these extraordinary animals.
