Agility - Beginner

Service Description

Agility is a sport that involves you guiding your dog through a set of obstacles, such as jumps and weaves, while being timed. Agility is great physical and mental exercise, and an excellent confidence and relationship builder. It is not only for people who want to compete but we will also support anyone who would like to compete with their dog. In our beginner course, we will teach you and your pup the foundations to be a great agility dog and handler. Over the course of the 6 weekly 1 hour sessions, we will cover: • Flatwork (the transitions between the equipment) • Foundations (wraps, retrieves, etc.) • Introduction to equipment • Confidence around equipment Our agility courses are run as 6 week blocks but after the completion of a 6 week course you will not necessarily be ready to move into the next group. Our instructor will let you know when you and your dog are ready to move up. This usually takes around 1 year. People and dogs will progress at their own pace. At Jen’s Dogs your dog’s welfare is our top priority and, as such, we ask that all dogs are up to date with their vaccinations. We ask all dogs visiting our training facility to be fully vaccinated and ask for their vaccination card to be shown at your first session. Please speak to us if you cannot show your card, for example if you are titre testing, and we can discuss to ensure the safety of all dogs who come to Jen’s Dogs.
