The purpose of this list of training organizations is to make it easier for people in search of agility training to find an appropriate trainer near the potential customer. The description of your training style, facilities, etc. may make the difference on whether thy contact you.
The original list of trainers was created by searching the web for agility trainers. If you are listed and would like additional text or photos on your page, you can email me at link in the footer.
If you would like to be added, start a dialog using email link in the footer. Please include the following basic information. If you do not have a web site I can include as much static information that you would like.
I have grouped the trainers into some general geographical areas based upon how they cluster on the map. If you are in a fringe area between clusters, let me know which cluster(s) you would like to be associated with.
There is a market for agility camps and seminars but there is a disconnect between the providers and consumers. Many consumers don’t know when, where or who is offering the training and the providers don’t necessarily advertise outside of their own area. With trials, it is pretty easy since the same clubs offer the trials on corresponding weekends every year and they appear in the organization’s event calendars. For the training events they are pretty irregular.
I would like to help by listing Camps & Seminars in along with the Premiums and put the event on the Calendar (in the camps calendar). They would get distributed along with the premium notifications.
In order to do this, I need the event organizer to send me any or all of the following:
I will also require a headline that you want to go on the listing where I normally put the club name in the title. Where I normally put the organization (i.e., AKC, CPE, etc.) in the title I will put “Camp” or “Seminar”. I consider up to one day a Seminar and a two or more day event a “Camp”. The title of the event would be YYYY-MM-DD-SEMINAR/CAMP-Headline in the listings.
For ACT Events (I do monitor the ACT Calendar)

This area has no real clusters. The facilities are more like a string of pearls dangling from the Space Coast through the keys. The organizations are listed North to South. The list is scrollable.
This section consists of a number of training organizations acquired by either a web search or request from the training organization. The organizations are grouped in a few geographic clusters. From Northwest to Southeast, the locations are:
With the exception of the Southeast, the organizations are listed alphabetically by city and name. The Southeast is organized in order from north to south. Click on the buttons above to go to the area you want to explore.
There is a wide variety of agility training available. The classes range from just for fun equipment orientation along with doggie daycare to competition training with instructors that have competed internationally. It is up to you to decide what is appropriate for you. You may start with a "just for fun" and then decide you want to compete. Agility with your dog can be addicting.
