AGILITY
Our agility classes are aimed at having fun with your dog, although we use competition equipment and training standards are high we do not compete, it’s all about family dogs and having fun with them.
PRE AGILITY
We start with a four week pre agility course which must be attended before starting agility
THIS COURSE COVERS
- Focus exercises to keep your dogs attention
- Warming up exercises/routines and cooling down
- To follow hand signals
- To direct your dog to jump in straight lines, inc. series of jumps (puppies will not jump heights)
- Rear end awareness in preparation for dog walk, see-saw and A frame
- Circle work, running close with your dog and direction changes
- Tunnel (for puppies this will depend on size/height of puppy)
- Targeting for contact training later in agility.
- Learn some commands before taking on the equipment.
- Start line control, this is necessary whilst learning the equipment. Should you later wish to compete this will be a very useful skill.
- To enjoy being around the equipment, noises, shapes, colours, etc.
- How to practise most of the exercises at home.
AGILITY
Dogs can enrol for agility training at 12 months and over, but please note some giant breed dogs may need to be older. Courses last for 6 weeks, it would normally take around 12 weeks to learn all the different pieces of equipment, but our aim is to create a fun learning environment - we don’t do pressure ! Six weekly agility courses are ongoing
All dogs should be fit enough to undertake some strenuous exercise, if in any doubt please consult your vet before enrolling on a course of pre agility or agility
