Dog Agility
Get active with your dog
Dog agility can be a fast-paced, exciting sport, but many are happy just to have a bit of a laugh together. Either way, dog agility leaves you with a great sense of achievement and partnership with your dog. Plus, it keeps you both fit and on your toes! |
Liz and Wyz are competing in the exciting team-work event, Trios Agility.
Here, they are taking part in a team relay race against other teams of 3. |
The aim of agility is to negotiate a series of obstacles in a set order, and without making 'errors'. The agility course might include jumps, tunnels, a dog-walk, A-Frame or a see-saw, amongst other things.
Your dog will develop physical confidence and the ability to watch you carefully. You will develop a keen eye to know how you can influence and control your dog's movements around a space.
Agility is suitable for dogs and their owners who are physically fit and healthy, and are not reactive around dogs, people, kites, model airplanes, etc. Please be aware that the training takes place on a public field that is used by other clubs.
If you are unsure of the skill level required, why not try the taster session first? All that's required is a dog who is comfortable to be handled by a stranger, doesn't bark excessively or react aggressively towards other dogs, and will come back when called. Stay (or Wait) will also be very useful, but not a necessity.
If you think this is for your dog, book now!!
