Venue: Blackmore Lane, Haxey, DN9 2LH
My Agility Classes will be primarily just for fun.
I always aim to keep fun in dog training.
Agility is a wonderful way for owners and their dogs to interact together, both with their dogs and other like minded people, it builds the relationship and trust between you and your dog and will keep you both fit too!
My equipment is of excellent quality made by well renowned companies and is of Kennel Club competition standard.

So if you get the bug (and you probably will) you can be sure that you and your dog will be used to working with the standard of equipment used at Agility shows.
Contact Sue for further details or to be put on the waiting list Please note: Being put on the waiting list holds you under no obligation, it enables Sue to contact you when there is a place.
For your safety & information
About Agility
Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Obstacles include the following:-
Jumps
Tunnels, collapsible & rigid
Dog Walk
Seesaw
Weaving Poles
Tyre jump
Long Jump
Table (pause box)
‘A’ Frame
In competition, dog and handler are required to complete the planned course against the clock clearly. Faults will be given for not completing within the time, for knocking jumps down, refusals, and failing to touch contact points. Faults will be given for handling the dog or touching the equipment. Taking the wrong course can result in elimination. I liken it to Show jumping for dogs.
Although all training in the beginners classes is primarily carried out on lead, basic obedience is essential. Sit, Down, Wait and Recall. So start practicing now. Find out what motivates your dog, treats, or toys? Do you clicker train? Although these cannot be used in competition they are very useful tools for helping your dog learn Agility.
Agility is a very active sport and will require some running and so please ensure that you and your dog are fairly fit, if unsure please check with your doctor/vet before starting. As with any exercise it is wise to warm up those muscles before starting to avoid injury.
All dogs are born with a need to work. Agility will provide mental and physical stimulation. All breeds large and small are welcome, dogs from 12 months and handlers of any age as long as they are capable of controlling their dog.
Puppies are welcome to come along to socialize, but will be restricted to low impact equipment.
Just look what you can achieve with a little practice!
