A. Agility involves teaching your dog to negotiate
a course consisting of jumps, ramps, tunnels and tyres. Our classes are designed for fun and exercise not serious competition,
although we do run our own small competitions from time to time.
Please email us for directions to the field, and
class times.
A. We will teach any type of dog to do agility,
and over the years we have had most breeds from a miniature dachshund to a Newfoundland. We can adapt courses to suit less
agile dogs. Older dogs are also welcome, as long as they are still reasonably fit.
For our adult agility, dogs should be
at least ten months old for small breeds, or over a year old for larger dogs. Our special puppy agility sessions take puppies
from three to ten months.
A. Agility classes are held at our
outdoor venue in Wellow. The agility area is fully fenced. Adult agility classes run on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each
month, weather permitting.
All customers must book in advance.

A. Puppy Agility is a special class separate
from our usual adult agility. Classes are run every few weeks on Saturday mornings with classes separated depending on age
and size of the puppy. In these sessions puppies have a chance to try some very small scale safe agility equipment, practice
coming to call and also for the younger puppies have a chance for some free-play with puppies of their own age and size. These
sessions not only act as an introduction to agility at an age where the puppy is more able to adapt to new ideas and strange
equipment, they also improve the puppy's confidence and are great fun for puppy and owner.
Due to demand for these sessions
they are generally only open to dogs that already attend our general training classes. This also enables us to put the puppies
into compatible groups.
N.B. Adult agility is open to
all.
