I've taken agility classes at several facilities over the years, and training out of a home-based center like this can be an absolute gem when you understand how they operate. My experience here was positive, professional, and very dog-centered. This is not a big-box operation with a front desk staff answering phones all day, it's a working training facility run by someone who is actively teaching, training, and managing dogs. Because of that, communication may not be instant, but when I did hear back my questions were answered clearly and honestly. The class requirements (including bringing a crate) are there for very good reasons: safety, structure, and creating a calm learning environment for the dogs. Anyone who has done agility before knows how important that is. I appreciated that the facility prioritizes the dogs' well-being over convenience. The instruction itself was thoughtful and intentional, and it was obvious that a lot of care goes into how classes are run. If you're looking for a knowledgeable trainer who runs a small, focused program and truly cares about the dogs in her classes, this is a great place to train. Not every training center is the right fit for every person, but I would absolutely recommend this one to anyone who values quality instruction, clear expectations, and a dog-first approach. read more

I've been training under Christina with my 2 dogs for almost 3 years now and I could not have asked for a more positive, supportive, and successful experience. Christina has been able to troubleshoot any issues that have arisen and has encouraged us throughout. I have her to thank for helping earn AKC Agility titles with both my dogs and fully anticipate continuing success in this sport with Christina's expert advice and guidance. She is also just incredibly dog savvy and has assisted us in other aspects of dog ownership and dog sports in general and I'm so grateful to have found her. Very nice facility too, where I have the option to use my own crate or her kennels and I've made great friends and found an incredible community through Sunset Hills. I've recently started to bring my 13 yo nephew with me so he can learn and Christina's patience and support for him has been nothing short of phenomenal, as well. Truly, I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Chris at Sunset is just an absolutely wonderful and knowledgable trainer! She will not tell you about it unless you ask her but she has won a National Agility Championship in her dogs class before.. She is kind and very good with all the dogs she works with ad so encouraging and patient with the owners of the dogs.. I cannot recommend working with her more strongly. Her facility is just awesome with not a dirt floor but astroturf. She has all the professional agility equipment. Just a fantastic experience. read more

This facility is one of the best I have seen! after 5 1/2 years of experience I can say with complete confidence that Sunset Hills allows for growth with a comfortable learning environment. Dogs are number one priority and the lessons explain what the handler needs to do to improve and where our strengths and weaknesses lay. I am so grateful for Sunset Hills, not only for what we are learning, but for the friendships I am making with like minded people. read more

We love Sunset Hills Dog Training! The experience is catered towards your dogs needs and the owner is extremely personable. They are so patient with my dogs and instead of expecting perfection, they focus more on making sure my dog has a positive experience to build confidence. We've now been able to successfully compete in trials with the help of Sunset Hills. read more

I've had such a great experience at sunset hills. I've trained 3 dogs in agility and taken 2 puppy classes there. I always felt supported and welcome by both the instructor and other students. I love the indoor barn and the agility equipment is top notch. Chris is very knowledgeable and willing to work with me and my dogs to discover what is best for us. read more

Christina is an absolute joy to work with. When we were searching for an ethical and reputable breeder to get a service dog puppy, we immediately fell in love with her kindness, knowledge, and passion for Springers. Keeva, our dog, is nothing short of perfect, and we can never thank Christina and Sunset Hills enough. read more
