8/24/04
Pals & Paws offers one of the best agility
practice fields in Florida.
Our field is located off Morse Avenue
in Jacksonville, FL. Secured with a chain link fence and locked
gate. Members receive directions on how to access the field after paying
their yearly
dues. Our annual dues include unlimited access to the field. Any
member can practice 24 hours a day on the field.
We offer two agility rings - one for classes and one for practice. So our members always have unlimited access to a practice field. The field is also the sight of most of our trials, Show & Gos and any seminars we may be offering this year.
