                       We use Positive, Rewards-Based Trainning

If you've ever seen a dog agility trial in person or on TV and thought you'd like to try it, wanted to advance the skill you already have or train to compete at the highest level, then you've come to the right website. We always remember that our dogs are friends and companions first. That we share the agility experience together as partners with equal yet differnet responsibilities. We believe Agility is fun and exciting for any type of dog whether its large or small, purebred or mixed breed. Its is great exercise for the dog and the handler alike. Agility training helps build a stronger relationship between you and your dog. Come join us at Top Dog Agility located close to historic Mount Dora in Central Florida where we train  biginner to the highest levels of Agility. 


We at Top Dog believe that finding the right agility instruction is the single most important decision you will make for you and your dog. Our training programs is unique in the fact that we focus on developing the communication skills that are needed between handler and dog. You and your dog will learn the skills to safely, properly and skillfully navigate a course with Jumps, A-Frame, Dog Walks, See-Saws, Table, Tire, Weave Poles, and Open and Closed Tunnels.The emphasis is not on just getting through a sequence of obstacles but rather how best to accomplish the sequence. We focus on  principals, and concepts that remain the same whether you are a starting beginner or an experienced competitor. Our program is  based on building from these fundamentals concepts which allows for seamless development.  The results are faster times, tighter turns, greater accuracy, and an easier "go" on our dogs both physically and mentally.   



  Agility is also a brain sport. Unlike obedience, where you practice and perform the same activity, the same way in every event, in agility you have to plan for the unexpected.  Before every course you must plan your strategy, walk the course, study the problems competitors before you have had so you can avoid those pitfalls and - in a spite of all the planning you do - be prepared to think on your feet and change your carefully crafted plan when your dog does the unexpected.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Commitment: Agility is a sport that requires commitment.  It takes one to two years of training for you and your dog to become proficient in the sport. It requires you to commit time to take lessons and practice several days a week. On the other hand, there is no other dog sport that I know of, that will give you and your dog a greater feeling of satisfaction for a job well done.
