What is Agility?

Agility is a sport, where you work with your dog, as a team, to send your dog around an obstacle course as speedily as possible. Fastest dog wins (but dogs do NOT run at the same time!!)

Sessions involve… teaching your dog to go over jumps, through tunnels and weave-poles, and to follow your body language and directions. Agility is all about playing chasing games with your pup – using the positive reinforcement of toys and treats.

Which Dogs Can Do It?

As long as your dog is fit and healthy, dogs of all breeds and ages can get stuck in. Puppies only start going over jumps and trying weaves from 7months, but can start with plenty of foundation skills from any age. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Dogs need skills like good recall, a solid ‘wait’ and a desire to work with you to do agility, but we will also work on these as part of sessions if required.

Who are we?

Kesia & Koro – I compete with my own dog, Koro the Australian Shepherd, currently in ‘Grade 1’ with a growing number of Kennel Club wins. I teach foundations and how to start off for people without competition experience. I’m coached by Angus Macfarlane, who competes as a ‘Grade 7’ agility handler (top level nationally), and sometimes runs guest sessions with us.

As well as agility, I work in dogcare, as an independent walker and daycare provider, am currently studying a level 3 diploma in Dog Behaviour with the British College of Canine Studies, have an IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) Partnership Grade 3 certificate, and have taken training courses with Devon Dogs and Friendly Creatures, as well as personal coaching with ‘interactive play’ expert Craig Ogilvie. I have also been supported by Wild Spirit Dog Training CIC in ‘owner training’ Koro as my assistance dog.
