PAWZAZZ Agility

For competition Agility, Pawzazz offers a progression of training classes that begins with INTRO and continues throughout the career of the dog. Training is an ongoing process to meet the constantly changing challenges presented by judges and the courses they design. Progression into higher level classes is by invitation.

PAWZAZZ is the agility branch of Kinder-Pup, Inc, located in Maryland. It is a highly respected group within the world of competitive agility, with close to 100 students, competitors, and members. They teach NADAC style agility, and many of their students also compete in USDAA, AKC, and UKI.

They offer a progression of training classes that begin with an introductory level and continue throughout a dog’s career, covering foundations to elite handling. Safety is a primary concern, requiring dogs to be fully off-lead trained and x-rayed to ensure closed growth plates and no underlying physical problems before jumping.

The team aims to strengthen the bond between canine partners and their owners through agility, helping them learn the necessary foundation and skills to compete at all levels.
