About Agility Angels

What They Do

Now called the Agility Program (founded as Agility Angels in 2008), this Ability Center program uses the sport of dog agility to help individuals with disabilities develop social skills, physical capabilities, and self-confidence — participants direct dogs through obstacle courses within set time limits.

History & Approach

Founded in 2008 to help individuals diagnosed with autism, it grew to more than 50 participants with volunteer coaches holding classes three evenings a week. After merging with The Ability Center in December 2021 it now accepts participants with all disabilities, matching each participant with the same dog and coach.

Notes

Based at The Ability Center in Sylvania, OH; an interest form is available for families.
