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’ve 5 classes with GGDS and one thing I’ve noticed is that it varies teacher to teacher. All my instructors are running through the same routines but have different approaches to class, timing, and homework. If you find someone you like stick with them. I started with basic classes, but I tried a private lesson and found that much more instructive and help me get closer to my goals than group; especially for teeter work.
My review is lower here because the location is really rough. It’s not easy to get to if you live in SF and the outside is surrounded by trailers, broken glass, and trash. It’s safe enough but if you need to walk your dog be very careful.
Inside the building is clean and all the obstacles are sturdy. I really like how much space we have so that dogs don’t get distracted by each other.
