Dog agility training in Nampa, Idaho
About QQuest Agility Training
Welcome! Agility is a great way to bond with your canine companion. It offers exercise for both dog and handler. We offer classes for people interested in learning about agility. This class will help you train your dog to safely perform the different obstacles and how to move through a basic short course. As your skills improve, you can continue for fun or decide to compete. Classes are offered to help you continue on your journey and to help seasoned competitors to push their skills.
Classes are taught by the owner of QQuest, who has been competing in the sport since 2004. We use positive reinforcement to train our dogs.

Philosophy
My goal is to provide knowledge of various agility techniques and help you determine what works best for you and your dog. Let's load up your toolbox so you have many options to choose from.
Large arena
Great space for a large course to simulate trial courses or enough room for multiple exercises. Great equipment!
Access to offsite indoor facility when winter arrives.

Our classes
Welcome to QQuest Agility! Classes are offered outdoors, on dirt, in a fully fenced arena. In the winter, when the outdoor arena is no longer safe or comfortable, we rent an indoor arena for limited classes. Class size is limited to 8 dogs. With the exception of the beginner class, classes are an open format. Show up when you want. You only pay for the classes you participate in. Most classes are offered on Saturdays. There is also a Thursday evening class. Contact QQuest to learn more or to sign up.
