VIP Dog Sports

VIP Dog Sports offers a variety of training programs tailored to different ages and needs. The Adult / Family Dog program is for dogs 6 months and up, focusing on important concerns and addressing undesirable habits or behavioral issues, primarily through private lessons for efficiency.

Agility training ranges from foundation classes to master level, following the OneMind Dogs philosophy. New students typically start in Agility Intro, and private evaluations are available for experienced dogs. K9 Ninjas is an extreme new dog sport combining agility, parkour, and K9 training, emphasizing balance, body control, obedience, strength, and confidence using various obstacles. Dogs must be at least one year old for full equipment and have a good obedience foundation; aggressive dogs can begin with private lessons.

Nosework utilizes dogs’ natural sniffing instincts for searching specific odors in different environments, based on K9 Nosework, and is suitable for all dogs. Puppy Foundations is for puppies 10 weeks through 5 months, focusing on establishing good habits and preventing undesirable behaviors, offered in small group classes or private lessons. Tricks training aims to improve the dog-owner relationship, build confidence, and teach helpful tasks, with VIP Dog Sports being a “Do More with Your Dog” Training Center.
