Siskiyou Dog Agility

Siskiyou Dog Agility is a brand new group of dog enthusiasts in Siskiyou County, California who are getting together to learn and compete in dog agility. This website is just a beginning. Goals for the future include a locating a club training space, fun matches, sponsoring competitions, and just generally having fun with our dogs. All breeds of dogs are welcome as long as they are healthy and not dog-aggressive. Currently we are beginning classes at the Frontier Drive arena. Anyone is invited, but please call or email Kathy Fueston at 459-5658 or fueston@snowcrest.net before coming to your first class. Experiened agility competitors are also cordially invited to join us. We would be glad to set up advanced practices and courses. Just give Kathy a call.
