Company Information

Jennifer is a researcher in the field of human/animal bonding and relationships. She has a desire to create a premier agility training facility which provides positive training for handler/dog partners to build a trusting and bonded relationship while training where the teams will compete.

In addition to classes, we expect to hold agility trials for the AKC, NADAC and CPE organizations. The facility will house a competition ready agility ring that meets the competition specifications of the above organizations. Our students will be trained in the same facility where they may also choose to compete if they desire. We will also provide the option of facility membership. For a monthly fee, members will have 24 hour access to the agility facility. They will have access to all the open ring times to practice and may have access to the member’s only room during trials.

Our Vision

To provide a competition sized training facility that offers multiple types and levels of classes for dog/handler teams in a competition style facility where members can train where they will compete.

Our Mission

To become Louisville’s premier dog training center producing competitive champions in agility and other dog sports. To increase the numbers of handlers involved in the sport and bonded with their dog, while decreasing the number of canines euthanized yearly in Louisville, Kentucky. We firmly believe that when the human/nonhuman animal bond is strengthened, both participants receive benefits. We hope to contribute to an overall decrease in the number of animals euthanized in Jefferson County by securing bonds between new dog owners and their adopted dog.
