The Dog's Place, is owned and operated by Don and Ginsey St. Croix who are both nationally known in the AKC, USDAA, and Purina Incredible Dog Challenge venues.

Dog agility is a athletic, competitive team sport designed to test handling and training skills over a timed obstacle course. “With scoring based on faults similar to equestrian show jumping, dog agility has become an exciting spectator event” says the United States Dog Agility Association which has “over 25,000 registered competitors and represents more than 100 affiliated groups conducting more than 400 days of events each year throughout the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and Japan.”
