Been training in agility for almost 15 years and have known of Anne, the owner, from competing around the Bay Area. She is an accomplished competitor in the U.S. and internationally. Her new location in HMB is awesome — it’s outdoors with two fields, one for jumpers and another for standard runs. There is a very small greenhouse for indoor work with artificial grass when it rains. Getting here from the peninsula is an easy trip over 92, even in rush hour traffic — granted if there are no accidents on the road. She is working hard to make this location a comprehensive wellness center for canines.

Let me start this review off by saying this place is AWESOME! This is a review for their Foundation for Puppies class. I had been wanting to start my mini Australian Shepherd with agility training ever since I got him, however, most places will not allow you to start until your dog is a year old. I’ve always been the believer that the earlier you start the better, so I did a lot of online research trying to find places that have agility classes for puppies. This place is the only one that really teaches the skills of agility, not just the obstacles. They have a pretty intense exam to get into the class, which I appreciate because I want my dog to be on the same level as his classmates. The trainers are HIGHLY knowledgeable as they all compete with their dogs and are certified. I feel extremely confident in asking them any questions I might have. Each class is only 8 – 9 dogs, which is fantastic because puppies can have a really hard time focusing if there are lots of other dogs in the class. It also allows for one on one time with the trainers. I am extremely pleased with the level of training we are receiving as well as the pace set to learn new things. I fully intend on continuing through the training sessions as long as Auzzy continues to enjoy himself and excel.
