Meet Us at the 2026 New'Bark'et Dog Festival
We're heading back as exhibitors for another year! Find the Drop the Leash tent at New'Bark'et — Newmarket's dog festival — on September 12 & 13, 2026 at the Ray Twinney Recreation Complex. Stop by to meet the team, say hi to some dogs in training, and ask us anything about our classes.
A full-size training space, minutes from Newmarket
Just about 15 minutes from Newmarket, our Stouffville location offers extra-large indoor and outdoor space built for real agility training — full courses, full speed, no compromises.
What Newmarket handlers get out of agility
Two-Way Trust, Built Rep by Rep
Every run down a sequence is practice in reading each other — agility builds a kind of trust between handler and dog that spills over into everyday walks and life at home.
Cardio for the Both of You
Between directing your dog and keeping pace with them, agility turns into a real workout for two — a rare kind of exercise you both actually look forward to.
From Uncertain to Unstoppable
Dogs who start out unsure of new equipment often surprise their owners — each cleared obstacle chips away at hesitation and builds lasting confidence.
The Best Kind of Tired
A session that challenges both body and brain sends dogs home ready to flop down and rest, often for the whole evening.
A stepping stone into York Region's premier competitive club
Group classes at Drop the Leash are the on-ramp to Bar Stars Agility Club, coached by Jesse Seguin — a full-time competitor, coach and UKI judge. You'll learn the same fundamentals used by our competition teams, with room to grow into course-running classes, seminars, fun matches and sanctioned trials.

Coached by a Full-Time Competitor
Jesse Seguin doesn't just teach agility — he competes and judges it full time, with UKI certification and international podium finishes behind him. That hands-on experience keeps every class focused on the fundamentals that actually move a team forward.
Safety Woven Into Every Session
Every dog starts on beginner-friendly equipment before progressing to the full course. Our gear is competition-grade with soft rubber padding to protect joints, and the arena's groomed footing is chosen to keep every run safe at speed.
