Golden Gate Dog Sports

We love GGDS! My lab and I have been taking classes here for a couple of years and it is the highlight of her day (mine too!). Not only does she have a great time, but we've noticed that her recall and check-ins with us have become much better. In particular, we have been taking Stacey's classes and she is great. Not only is Stacey a good teacher, but she is very kind to the dogs and knows when they need a break, etc. Right now we just do classes for fun, but maybe we will end up in a competition one day?!

I started agility with my aussie heeler mix dog Bella about a year and a half ago at Golden Gate Dog Sports and I couldn't be any happier. Bella is my first agility dog and I was looking for an agility class ever since I adopted her back in 202o. I didn't have much luck finding a place that seems legitimate with highly skilled and knowledgeable staff until I found GGDS. I actually tried a place in the peninsula and they definitely were very new to agility and even though I didn't know much about agility back then, I could tell they are mostly just a place for puppy socialization and such. I started at GGDS when Bella was going through her heat, and my pre-agility teacher Lindsey was so accommodating and patient with us, knowing that a dog in heat could be overly sensitive and having a hard time focusing. I then moved to the next classes with Stacey and I am so amazed by her teaching skills, I learn so much from her everyday, not only about agility, but general training techniques. What I love about this place is that they have no issues with bringing on rescue and mixed-breed dogs, and they believe that any dog of any breed and from any background has the potential to succeed in agility. All the instructors' training techniques are extremely impressive and I love that I could drop in to different classes to get my dog exposed to different environments, learn from all the instructors and other students. GGDS is a community, and I am so thankful to be part of it. Excited to see what the future holds for team Bella! Thank you GGDS team!

I absolutely love this place. This is our second home. I'm so glad to have a top agility place near me, because not only is it wonderful fun for my dog, but the trainers here really prioritize the relationship between handler and dog. We've picked up so many skills, learned so many things, our training has improved. I've met friends here who compete, and those who don't, but it's so much fun seeing everyone work with their dog through different challenges. The facility is clean and well-run; the admin team work so hard to address any issues. Instructors are lovely people, and have so much experience working with dogs. Thank you for everything you do!

My,pup and I Love our agility classes at Golden Gate Dog Sports. The facility is bright and clean with fantastic flooring and up-to-date equipment. Instructors are knowledgeable and patient. There is a lot of support from other students and it is fun to watch everyone run with their dogs. Classes are small so you do get expert attention. There’s lots of basic classes for those just getting started. Advanced and master classes are available.
