This is such a fun, low-pressure way to try something new with your dog. In this class, we’ll build great skills like a rock-solid recall and some playful, athletic moves – all while working around other dogs in a safe, supportive environment. Most dogs absolutely light up for this class, and it’s a joy to watch them learn and play.

If you’ve been looking for a fresh activity to enjoy together, this is your sign. Come join us – your dog will thank you!

Reward-driven and game-focused, this class builds foundational flyball skills—drive, control, and connection through fun, structured play.
