Our Inspiration

“In 2011 I got a puppy and named him Kirby. I wanted to teach him how to be well behaved, well mannered, and perhaps know a few tricks too. I searched for a trainer and found a local person who taught us the basics. We enjoyed it so much we decided to try a beginner’s agility class and it was so much fun for us both we were hooked. We met new people, made new friends, and we had fun! In 2014 I attended the first Westminster Masters Agility Championship and decided to enter a ‘trial’ soon after that. Eventually we began to travel for these agility trials nearly every weekend to Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, even Georgia. We soon discovered other “Companion Sports” including Barn Hunt, Obedience, Rally, Dock Diving, Scent Work, and Lure Coursing but we had nowhere to train for these events. After several years of traveling 2+ hours for class each week, and spending many nights in hotels away from home I wanted a place to train and compete locally. Over the last few years Kirby and I were a very successful agility team and I dreamed of building a facility much like the places we traveled all over for. Sadly, I lost Kirby to Cancer in 2020 at the age of 8 as we began to plan this very training center where we hoped to compete in someday. Although not everyone will reach the level of competition as Kirby, we want to provide that opportunity for anyone with a dog. Agility may not be for everyone, but the love and connection with your dog is a very strong thing and we will offer every level of training for anyone who wants to build that love and have their “Dream Dog” be it through agility or simply learning how to ‘sit/stay’. “ – Andi Turco-Levin
