This class is an excellent way to exercise both your dog’s body and mind, and will help build confidence and focus while deepening the relationship between you and your dog. Each obstacle is adaptable for puppies, seniors, and dogs with limited mobility. And the best part is, it’s all made of noodles! Cost is $129
