“I have been taking agility courses with PrairieDawgs for over 2 years. I started with a private lesson where Trish introduced Olive and I to some of the basics. We then enrolled in Level 1 class and we haven’t looked back. Trish and Dan are very encouraging and knowledgeable. The class size allows for plenty of opportunities for practice and the facilities and equipment are great. Learning agility with Olive is the highlight of my week. If you are considering agility, I highly recommend learning with PrairieDawgs.”

"Leo is a 2 year old Frenchton who we got as a puppy during COVID. He has always been very anxious around other dogs and new people. I was very leary about putting him in agility but after speaking with Dan about Leo’s issues decided to sign him up and this was the best decision I have ever made. He is a completely different dog. Agility has allowed Leo to burn off excess energy, build his confidence and focus his attention on specific goals, rather than his anxiety. In the beginning he wouldn’t take treats and tried running for the door every chance he got. Now he loves going to agility, he listens to my commands during class and even lets Trish and Dan get close to him! Introducing him to new people and other dogs was the best thing we could have done for him!"
-Tracy & Leo
"I can't tell you how much I appreciate the teaching style of you both. You are knowledgeable, fun, and encouraging. I knew agility would be fun but was worried Zooma wouldn't be well-enough behaved. You've taken that stress away and given us space to really have fun together. Thank you!"
-Jocelyn & Zooma

“I also just wanted to say how highly I think of Prairie Dawgs and how often I recommend it. You run such wonderful training, all your instructors including yourself are so gentle and encouraging with each owner and their dog and it’s been such a positive experience for me and Kumi.”
-Kylie & Kumi
"Blue and I have been going to PrairieDawgs Agility for 2 years and we really look forward to our weekly class. Trish and Dan are so patient with both of us (especially me). It has been so rewarding to work with Blue, and see our communication and teamwork improve. He is exhausted after class, so much mental energy required. Blue and I look forward to seeing our classmates too. We learn from each other and laugh a lot. Lots of fun and some exercise too."
-Sheila & Blue
"PrairieDawgs Agility has been so much fun for us and our two Beagles. We've taken a variety of classes from other trainers and this one is by far our favourite. Dan and Trish are so patient but also guide you to advance yourself and your dog. We look forward to our classes each week. We even feel this has helped our dogs in obedience and tolerance outside of class."
-Cosette/Craig & Willie/Waylon
"Dan and Trish are very knowledgeable and passionate about dog agility. My dog Milo and I both have learned a lot in a short amount of time thanks to Dan and Trish. They have a great outdoor facility on their acreage and nothing pleases them more to see dog and handler progress and strengthen their bond. I would definitely recommend Prairie Dawgs Agility for anyone considering agility for their dog."
- Jason & Milo
"Freya and I started agility with Prairie Dawgs in January of 2024 and classes have become a special part of our weekend to spend quality time together. I love seeing Freya’s excitement as she works her way through the course, and especially when she adds an extra obstacle in just for fun. We had taken a few agility classes before starting with Prairie Dawgs. What I appreciate with these classes is the variety of obstacles and pace, as Freya is easily bored. I find I have her attention throughout the class and she is just as excited as I am to be there. Maybe even more so because she’s the one getting the treats. I also appreciate the Saturday class times which has allowed me and Freya to attend on a regular basis. We are both very appreciative of Prairie Dawgs Agility."
