Agility Taster (for Beginners)
Have you seen agility but not sure if it's for you? Then why not come and join in our Taster Introduction Session? This is a three hour session where you'll get to learn about and have a go using each piece of the agility equipment.
You will see a demonstration from us with one of our dogs and we'll have short coffee break to make sure the dogs have a breather. Finally you'll get to put the whole thing together finishing by trying out a whole course. Dogs do need to be a year old to take part and should be in good health - if you are unsure please consult your vet before booking.
Our agility training is intended to give the dog and handler a safe work out, helping to build a stronger bond and nurture a working partnership with the common goal being having fun! The training is mainly aimed at the pet owner as we do not currently offer training for competition.
