What area of DFW? Are you looking for fun classes like agility, flyball, obedience, or are you looking for one-on-one help with behavior problems?

I'd love to get Zoe involved in some agility classes- I think she would have a blast! Can you recommend any good places for that?

Cash and I went to Dallas Dog Sports in Wylie. I LOVED their program and plan to get back into it with the puppy. Cash really had a blast there.

Thanks, everyone for the help. Maggie, has completed basic obedience a few months ago, and we have been working weekly---an hour or so---without a leash, and she is doing well. Now I would like to continue her training with a professional trainer. For one we are considering her for Therapy Dog training as she loves people and children in general, and our vet thinks she would be great as a Therapy Dog.

As with most, if not all of you,and your dogs, we want the best for her to off set the few hours each day she is left along while my wife and me are way. I am semi retired as a professional pilot, so I have a time each week to work with her, but would prefer professional help.

At this point we would consider any type of training, be it aglitiy, fly ball, tracking, but I would just like a professionals advise.

In the far North, I can recommend What a Great Dog! in Prosper and Dallas Dog Sports in Wylie.

Second vote for Dallas Dog Sport. That's where my little dog goes for her agility training. Great place and awesome trainers! Their pre-agility classes are really wonderful ... actually they were some of the best obedience classes I have ever taken!
