Agility
We are temporarily closed for Agility as we are looking for a new outdoor venue. We will post on here and on our social media once we have found the right place and are able to re-start our agility training.
Agility is a fun activity for dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds. The sport is a great way for you and your dog to work together as your dog follows your guidance to negotiate a series of obstacles, such as jumps and tunnels.
The way in which we teach agility ensures that the health, fitness and well-being of your dog is paramount. We use techniques and exercises designed to minimize injury, and build strength and flexibility. Your dog will not be permitted to use any agility equipment until we are satisfied that he/she will use it in a safe way. We work on warm up, flat work and handling exercises that will introduce your dog to the basics of agility movement.
We focus on teaching the right movement and use of equipment.
Any equipment used with puppies and adolescent dogs is very low impact to ensure developing joints are protected.

Dogs attending must have a good level of obedience (including recall) in order to use the equipment safely and must be physically fit. Handlers should also be able to move easily around an agility course. That said, if you do have any issues with mobility, we can focus on teaching your dog to run on and have good response to verbal cues.
