What IS Flying Paws Agility?
A group of all-volunteers, Flying Paws has been promoting the fast-growing sport of agility since 2006. Many of our members compete in various venues, such as AKC, CPE and USDAA. Others don’t compete at all, and just train for the joy of working together with their dog.
We teach classes, host seminars by well-known agility experts and offer our members a fabulous opportunity to work with their dog. Check out our Class page to find out more about the classes you can take.

HI, Tansy and I plan to attend the agility class for beginners on March 29th at 6:30 PM. Will bring class fee of $90.00 for six week class. If anything else needed please advise! We are looking forwarded to this class. Thank you, Shirley Lindemann
Hi! We are very much active, though don’t have classes in the winter. Many of our members spend this time focussing on trial skills or other pursuits. But we will bring out the equipment to the field most likely in March and also probably start off with a try-it day before launching into classes. Keep an eye on this web site (you can subscribe to new posts) or on our Facebook page. We’ll announce it in plenty of time for you to sign up! If you have other questions, contact our direct email: flyingpawsagilty@yahoo.com. Thanks for your interest!!
This just looks like a lot of fun. My husband and I are retired and will be picking up our 10 week old poodle puppy the end of March. How old do you suggest the prospective dog be when first being introduced to agility training? I’m not at all sure we would be interested in competition, but the training looks fun.
We generally suggest a puppy be about 10 months old or so before starting Agility Foundations, which does not involve jumping. We don’t recommend jumping until after the dog is 12 months old and a vet has given you the go-ahead to do some jumping. In the meantime, Applied Canine Behavior here in Bloomington has puppy classes that might be just perfect for you! Check them out!
Hi… wanted to see what was needed to sign up for basic class. Times and location of upcoming classes.
Thank you
