CPT agility students may also purchase practice time at CPT’s Sandy Springs training center. In contrast, with our competitors, one of the barriers to agility progress is access
to equipment and facilities. Fortunately, CPT helps our agility students overcome the significant obstacle of practice time, which results in superior progress and greater enjoyment.

As one can plainly see, Agility is not just for big guys. Witness Pippin, a Toy Poodle owned by CPT Trainer Holly Schmidt. Pippin started in beginning
obedience with CPT and has progressed to become a prestigious MACH4, a sixth place finisher in the AKC Nationals, and the #2 lifetime Agility Toy Poodle.

CPT is proficient at training all breeds and sizes of dogs. Here we see Balto, a Bichon Frise owned by CPT Agility Trainer Sierra Schmidt, flying
through the tunnel. In December 2006, Sierra and Balto won the inagural AKC National Agility Invitational.

Many CPT students particpate in Agility just for fun. However, some Agility students enjoy competing. If winning is fun, Pippin is a very happy
dog. Wow! Look at all those ribbons! These are just a few of Pippin's 50+ first place ribbons.
