The training is run by Anne Jones who has been training and showing dogs in agility, obedience and confirmation for years. You may think getting started in something like agility is difficult, but the classes actually start at a beginners level. It's a great way to bond and have fun with your pet. Anne also offers obedience training and behavior modification training in the comfort of your own home.

Canine Caper Agility Club - Canine Capers is a non-profit organization which provides quality agility training for all levels and all breeds of dog. They actually started agility training in Georgia. They have a large indoor facility and they provide training year-round. They also give obedience and handler classes. The problem is distance - they are located on Peachtree Industrial Blvd., which unfortunately is not close to Woodstock or Marietta. I have been using Canine Capers for about 2 years to learn how to handle my own dogs in the show ring - I highly recommend them!

He's awesome - I've seen him lecture.

Culturelle - Recommended to me by my vet for my dogs and it's actually good for people too. Especially good if you have taken antibiotics recently. Culturelle helps to maintain the health-promoting "good" bacteria in the intestinal tract. This is important because the intestines are the largest immune organ in the body and promoting their health strengthens the body's overall natural defenses. If you administer to your pet - only give 1 a day for a couple of days just before feeding.
