Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

FAQ: My dog is fearful / nervous / anxious. Can they do agility?

Yes! Fearful dogs are some of my FAVORITES. Agility is a great way for fearful pups to build confidence -- as long as you're with an instructor who is patient and lets the dog explore at their own pace. I've owned two fearful dogs and fostered many others, so I am able to meet them where they are and help them feel comfortable finding their bravery.

FAQ: My dog is reactive, can they do agility?

Yes! Reactive dogs do very well in private lessons at my house. The yard is fully fenced and no dogs are visible while in the yard.

FAQ: Can my dog do agility?

Yes! Dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments can learn agility. While not every dog will be the next Westminster Agility champion, every dog can learn the sport and have fun playing it.

FAQ: How do I get started with agility?

I'd love to meet you and your pup for an agility lesson in my fenced yard in Burtonsville. You can choose your appointment time online by going here --> https://foleysdogtraining.as.me/new-agility-student The initial lesson is 45 minutes. If you'd like to continue, you can choose between 30-minute or 45-minute lessons. I also have the Drop-In Beginner Agility classes if you'd rather do a group class.

I took E's Intro to Rally class with my pit bull, who can be a little reactive to other dogs (staring if they get too close). E was understanding and made us feel welcome and not embarrassed, and she can set up her classroom accordingly if you need a bit more space than others. Her teaching style is laid back yet informative. She doesn't point out mistakes or make you feel silly for an incorrect maneuver. If you ask for pointers, she troubleshoots with more than one suggestion on how to approach the issue. I have sent several clients her way and they rave about her teaching style, too. She is an excellent, compassionate instructor who cares about both the dogs and the people. I'd give more stars if I could!

Ms. Foley has been tremendously helpful and knowledgeable in advising me on my dog adoption process. As a first time dog adopter, it’s very difficult to know which breeders are ethical and legitimate and she has been extremely helpful in answering questions, guiding me through the process, and even suggesting various breeders and dog shows. I highly recommend her for any of your dog training or consultation needs!! Clearly, she’s an expert. Thank you!

Greyhounds aren't typically associated with agility, especially an older and very big greyhound, but E had Stavros going through the tunnel and up and over the A-frame in no time. While my boy won't be competing any time soon, his couple of lessons with E really helped his confidence and our bond (he was newly retired when we took classes with E). Stavros was always SO excited to be at E's place for his lessons even though he pooped out early almost every time, lol. E is very good about tailoring lessons to each dog and their person. I highly recommend, even if it's just for confidence building. E also has a great sense of humor and is really fun to work with.

My dog and me very happy with this place. E is exceptional with dog and even people. I am very happy we were recommended Foleys dog training. My dog been there only twice but he recognizes where we go from the end of the street and super excited. This tells a lot! Thank you E, for sharing your knowledge with us.
