If you are unsure what Agility is, let us explain a bit about it.
Agility started in this country in 1978 and has it's first public showing at Crufts the following year. It was an immediate success and since then has grown in popularity to the point where nearly every Country has Agility for dogs in one form or another. It was quickly realised that the dogs themselves enjoyed it very much and this is why it has become such a spectator's sport. To see a dog and their handler working together and enjoying themselves so much caught on very quickly.
Agility is about training your self and your dog as a team, to run a course consisting of jumps, dog-walk, A-frame, see-saw and a range of other equipment/obstacles.
Agility is both mentally and physically stimulating for your dog and yourself. It is an ideal way of physically working your dog.
We cater for all levels, from the absolute beginner or the experienced handler with a new dog, through to experienced dogs and handlers.
We provide training for all heights of dogs and have experience of handling Small, Medium and Large dogs ourselves and realise that no 2 dogs or handlers are the same and tailor our training accordingly.
The only requirements for starting agility are that your dog is fit and not over weight and above all they must enjoy the sport. Obviously you don't know until you try, but we will advise you to stop if we feel that the dog is under undue pressure, whether it be a fitness aspect or the dog just isn't enjoying the work.
Your dog must also have basic obedience, requiring at least a wait in any position and most importantly to come when called to enable training off-lead
