Agility Training Overview

Agility lessons teach your dog how to do the different pieces of equipment safely and with speed and how to focus on you while running.
The lessons teach you how to motivate and control your dog on and between each obstacle. At more advanced levels the training focuses on your handling skills, teaching you how to get the best performance from your dog.
Matsqui Flyball & Agility Club uses positive training methods, with lots of praise and rewards for the dog. The instructor does not teach your dog, but shows you how to be the teacher.

Training Resources

As a way to promote Flyball and Agility dog sports, MFAC donated $900 to the Abbotsford and Mission branches of the Fraser Valley Regional Library to allow them to purchase various dog sport related books and DVDS. This way any member of the public now has access to these resources. Visit http://www.fvrl.bc.ca to see for yourself what dog related books the library has to offer.
