Online and In-Person Agility with Sarah Giammarino
Dog agility from home
Check out my online course, Dog Agility From Home! Learn all the agility fundamentals that I teach in my in-person Beginner Agility classes but at your own pace at home. Everything is living room sized and we use DIY equipment. Its the best way to start your agility journey and the course is really fun.
Live, online classes
Explore the game Dog Agility from Home in your living room in a live, online class! I call them “Follow Alongs” because you follow along with my dog at home. Like a yoga video.
Its tones of fun and works really well for busy people, people who can’t make the driving to in-person agility classes, or people with Beginner/ Puppy level dogs. It is also a great alternative to a walk when the weather is not cooperating.

What do our Students say?
“I started taking Sarah’s Follow Along classes in May for something to do with my dog during the pandemic. It’s been a great way to teach my dog new skills in familiar surroundings so that she doesn’t get nervous or distracted by external stimuli”
Allison Berry, owner of Halle Berry, 3 year old Teacup Maltese.
“I just thought I’d send you a quick update on Ivy’s training. Due to her broken nail we had to change her routine a lot – from hard play to on-leash activities. It seems to be really good for her. We now run together and we’re taking her on hikes with her own pack. Everything from leash walking and reactivity to her waiting for direction has improved. When we’re working on tricks we’re enforcing the wait just as much as the command. In 2 days she figured out everything from 1 to 4 paws up on targets. And no more barking. She’s also starting to just sit without being asked while waiting for a new command.”
Stephanie MacKay, owner of Ivy, a 1 year old shepherd mix.
“Follow Along Tricks class is very fun and Lucy enjoys it immensely. As first-time tricksters, I was worried we would slow the class down, but Sarah is so clever at helping each human-dog pair individually during class, Lucy and I were caught up in that first session. Lucy now knows about 8 different tricks, which she does on command and also all in a row at random times whenever she is feeling like a snack! The Tricks Follow Along is some of the best quality time my dog and I spend together.”
Amanda, owner of Lucy, 7 year old mix.
“My pooch and I love training online with Sarah. Her no pressure, fun natured classes are super fun and really nurture the bond between me and my dog. I love that we can train and play together without leaving the house. Sarah has made online dog training super easy and enjoyable. My dog has learned a ton of new tricks since training online with Sarah. I always look forward to our classes.”
Allison Viveiros, owner of Zola, a 2 year old doodle.
