Puppies and Young Dogs
Puppy classes – from 16 weeks
Puppies as young as a few months old can start to build on foundations that will help them learn the skills for future agility careers, but also make them great pets to live with too!
It is important that we protect our young puppies – so exercises are tailored for puppies to protect their growing bodies. Agility training for puppies and young dogs is about building a great relationship between you and your dog.
Young dog classes – from 8 months plus
These classes are for slightly bigger puppies and young dogs! This class is for teenagers puppies 8 months plus that are starting to sequence low jumps and tunnels. We also start contact foundation on low equipment. We continue to work on focus and drive in the group environment, and increase the amount of agility based skills
With both our puppies and young dogs we work on the following
