My and I dogs love coming to agility each week. The training has made a positive impact on all aspects of are their behavior from their ability to run the courses to their behavior's at home. It has also created a wonderful bond between my dogs and I. Noelle has so much patience with me and my dogs, teaching me the best ways to help us all succeed in all that we do together. Agility training is the best training I've ever done with any of my dogs. I am so glad we started this. And I can recommend it highly for anyone who wants a strong bond and a well-behaved dog.

We LOVE Supernova! We started with an obedience class and now take agility. Frankie loves Deanna and Lee and they each give amazing tips on how to help me help my dog, and they explain why we do the exercises. Frankie has fun and he loves his fellow classmates!! I like the arena and small class size. We came here on a referral and we too highly recommend Supernova! 🐾

I’ve taken several classes here with Kim Kocol and I’m so impressed with her coaching and training skills! The place is simple but very comfortable. It’s worth the drive from the south towns for us!
