Q. What is agility?

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.

Q. What age and type of dog can do agility?

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.

Q. What is Puppy Agility?

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.
