WAG was founded in 1999 by former instructors and students from the Four Paws Training Center (now Fosters) in Antioch Illinois, a successful agility program that had been in existence for over four years. When Four Paws decided to return to its roots as an
obed- ience training center, WAG members sprang into action and started their own
club.
In its 'Four Paws' days, WAG started with a focus on UKC agility. Students and instructors now compete successfully in
UKC, AKC, NADAC, and USDAA agility and learn skills that apply to all styles of agility.
For our first two class sessions, WAG operated in a 5000 square foot training center in McHenry, Illinois, near the intersection of Route 31 South and Route 120. In January of 2000, we relocated to our new permanent home in Spring Grove, Illinois, located
just north of Route 12 west of Spring Grove road. Our new facility is an 8700 square foot newly constructed building with about 7000 square
feet of matted working
area.
WAG is currently licensed to hold both
UKC and AKC agility trials. AKC
trials are scheduled a couple times a year and UKC trials
are held more frequently. Check out our WAG Events
and Calendar web pages for more
information.
Located near the Wisconsin and Illinois border, the WAG
Training Center is easily accessible from the Chicago, Rockford, Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee and Madison areas.
Situated in an industrial park just off of Highway 12, the building features outdoor exercise pens and plenty of
parking in a surrounding paved lot. The interior is well-lit and climate-controlled year-round featuring a large gated ring with chairs along two sides for spectators. Visitors often comment on both the cleanliness of our facility and how well-maintained our equipment is.
Visit our Facility web page
for maps, directions, dimensions, photos and amenities.
Also known as "WAGsters", our members span a geographical area from Milwaukee to Chicago to Rockford. WAG is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization.
The Officers and Committees
keep WAG running smoothly and the Instructors
keep classes challenging and fun. WAG members pay an annual member fee and must meet volunteer work requirements. In return, WAGsters enjoy perks such as early Class
Registration, WAG'n Tales (the quarterly newsletter), discounted Ring Rental,
Seminar and Class Fees, etc. For information on joining WAG, Policies and Procedures, member listings, etc., visit the
Members web page.
