Agility Camps here at Dogwood are designed to offer you and your canine companion with an opportunity to have fun, relax, and get some great agility training in a small group. Training is very individualized as camp registration is limited to 4-6 dogs. The relaxing rural setting provides an excellent backdrop for an agility vacation! Spend time improving your agility skills, enjoy some sightseeing activities in the Columbus area, and relax with a book by the pond. What a way to spend a few days!!

Our indoor and outdoor training rings also offer excellent training opportunities for competing outdoors and/or competing in unfamiliar settings. Our completely fenced property also affords the security you desire when training outdoors. No need to worry….Fido can’t run off!

Do you think the idea of agility camp sounds great but don’t think you and your dog are ready to train with more experienced folks? Try our Novice Camp. This camp is designed for the dog/handler teams who have taken beginning classes and learned how to perform all the obstacles and are now looking for more opportunity to improve your handling skills, to increase your dog’s drive and motivation, or simply to gain more experience. This camp will touch on important foundation skills, basic obstacle performance, building drive and gaining confidence running simple courses. It is the perfect camp for the dog/handler team who have just started competing or think you'll be competing in the next 6 months.

Check out the schedule below to find the camp for YOU! 

Dogwood Agility Camps

The camps are being offered at the wonderfully low price of $150 for the 2 day Novice Camp and $225 for the 3 day Advanced Camp.



Dogwood Novice Camps
(Check back in early 2013 for next year's dates)
The Novice camp will focus on building drive, basic handling maneuvers (front & rear crosses, etc.), running Novice level courses, and course analysis. Basically, we’ll work on the things you need to focus on to be getting ready for competition. The specifics of the training will be altered based upon the experience of the dog/handler teams in attendance. Dogs should be familiar with and confident on all obstacles and be at least 12 months of age.

Dogwood Advanced Camp
(Check back in early 2013 for next year's dates)
Dogwood Agility Camps will be designed based upon the experience of the agility teams registered. Exercises, courses, and training focus will attempt to meet the needs of the attendees. Registrants should be competing at least at the Open level for these camps.
 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
All camps run 9am-4pm each day, with breakfast and lunch provided. We'll be working for about 6 hours (1 hour for lunch) with numerous short "recesses" for the dogs so they are not over worked. There is ample space for the dogs to exercise, swim in a small pond, and just plain run around having fun so they can relax a bit.

There are numerous hotels within a 15-25 minute drive. More details can be obtained by contacting Dogwood.

There are various tourist activities, restaurants and shopping malls within 25-30 minutes so your evenings offer a variety of activity as well.

I think you'll find this a very helpful, fun agility camp in a beautiful rural environment at a price that can't be beat!!
