dog training center

For over 20 years, Andreas Marneros has been training dogs of all breeds and ages. As a licensed and certified dog trainer from the Veterinary Services, his philosophy is positive reinforcement and building a strong bond between the dog and their owner.  Andreas loves caring and connecting with animals and creating everlasting relationships. Marneros Agility Center (MAC) provides a space for your fur baby to run around and do the things they love to do, with you by their side. At MAC your beloved friend will not only receive the highest quality training but will also become a member of a bigger family.  As a dog owner himself, Andreas strives to provide a place where dogs and their owners can spend quality time together in a spacious area that was designed especially for you and your loyal friend.

Our center is the only one in Cyprus with Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) approved dog training agility equipment. The agility equipment at Marneros Agility Center includes all contact equipment (A-frame, dog walk and see-saw) as well as jumps, tunnels, long jump and weave poles. All contact equipment has non-slip surfaces and FCI approved dimensions. The fine, sandy surface is a shock absorbent which protects the dog's joints from any impact induced injury while running, jumping and turning. The course covers a 600 square meter area which extends to 2100 squared meters where your furry friend can run free. At MAC, we also host trainers from abroad who offer training sessions which anyone can join with or without their dog. 

Dog agility is a sport where the dog runs through a series of obstacles in a race of both time and accuracy. The dog is guided by its handler who is trained to guide the dog without the use of touch, toys or food as an incentive as they navigate the obstacles and run through the course.  The course consists of 14-20 obstacles which include jumps, weave poles, tunnels, see-saws, dog walk and more. The handler must find the fastest route through the course and then guide the dog using verbal commands and hand gestures through the obstacles to achieve a fast and 'clean' run.
