Testimonials
“Sunday is Funday Agility, at the “Ranch in the Forest” with Diane. No discipline, just fun! I’m Lexi a 7 1/2 lb Morkie. Agility is not just for big dogs, I can make the teeter totter move and have no fear of climbing the A-frame. Diane has all the fun obstacles that mom & I are learning. I’m so fast….mom needs to start her own training to keep up with me!”
– Lexi
“Fun, fun, fun!! Ranch in the forest has a great agility set up! I get new runs every week to challenge me but best of all, Diane is teaching mom how to handle me with confidence!”
– Finn
“Agility training is pawsome! I get to run, jump, and play with my human, which makes me wag my puppy tail like crazy! Figuring out those obstacles is a fun challenge, and I love the treats and belly rubs I get as rewards. It’s an exciting bonding experience with my owner, and I feel like a champion when we complete the course together. Can we go again, please? Woof!”
