Our training method and experience involves using a balance of praise and love as a motivator, not always treats. With this method of training, dogs are truly trained and not just kitchen trained. All dogs must be up to date with their vaccinations. If you are not already a customer of Pals For Pups, please fill out this registration packet and bring with you to register at the Roselle facility.

Agililty
This class is the most fun and the best exercise you can have with your dog. Dogs zip through tunnels, climb a tall A-frame, hurdle over jumps, traverse a narrow dog walk, maneuver through weave poles, travel up and over a see-saw, all while racing against the clock. We are fortunate to have Laura Donaldson who has acquired a MACH 13 with her agility dog, Daisy. As of 2019, Laura has the number 1 mixed breed agility dog in the country!
