About the Club

The Travis Agility Group is a non-profit 501 (c) 7 educational training club offering classes at all levels.  

Mission Statement:  
"The Travis Agility Group is a non-profit organization that was formed to promote the sport of dog agility in the Austin/Central Texas area.  We believe in using positive motivation to train our dogs, give our dogs more confidence, and create a stronger bond with us."  

​Students who have met the skills requirements in TAG's  'Foundations to Agility' series are eligible to become members of the club. People and their dogs who are experienced handlers, usually already competing, are welcome to apply for membership after receiving an evaluation from one of our instructors (to determine which advanced class best matches their skill level).  

​As a member of the Texas agility community,  TAG  hosts three trials every year.  We host two USDAA sanctioned agility trials and a NADAC sanctioned agility trial in June. 

​Each TAG member works very hard to make the trials as fun and efficient as possible.  Every group conducts their trials a little differently.  Here are the TAG Trial Positions that we have found helpful in running our trials.  

TAG also holds fun runs at our fields where members and non-members alike can practice running courses in a more relaxed environment.  We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with a pot-luck party.  

Our members support the club through volunteering.  There are many ways to volunteer.  We have field clean-up days to ensure our fields and equipment are maintained.  We have members who update the club's presence on social media as well as the TAG website.  There are many ways every one of our members can support the club.

Our History

The Travis Agility Group was founded in 1996 by a small group of agility enthusiasts determined to grow the sport of dog agility to Central Texas.  Since then, we have hosted hundreds of dog agility trials and have graudated hundreds of students who have fun with their dogs and, if they choose, to compete.  
​
​Because our club sponsors selected 'shelter dogs' to go through our  'Foundations of Agility' series of classes, we play a positive role in helping to find forever homes for these dogs from Texas Humane Heroes. We also hold fundraisers for the shelter, and provide support through monetary donations Texas Humane Heroes.
