About Dallas Agility Working Group
Dallas Agility Working Group gives dogs and handlers a real place to learn agility from the beginning all the way through master levels. Its classes, trials, seminars, demonstrations, and fun matches keep the sport active in Dallas throughout the year. For donors, that means supporting a local club that is teaching skills, hosting events, and keeping responsible pet ownership part of the picture.
What sets Dallas Agility Working Group apart is the full path it offers, from Beginner through Master level classes to sanctioned trials, seminars, demonstrations, and fun matches. It also works across AKC, USDAA, and UKI, so handlers can stay engaged with the sport in more than one arena.
