WONDER PAWS - Agility Time!

Stretch your dog's mind!! Dog Agility is a really great way to improve the human-animal bond and to teach dogs new skills. It's a great outlet for active dogs and a confidence builder for shy dogs.....If you are looking for something fun to do with your dog, Agility is for you!

 

Our approach to agility is reward-based and positive, keeping it fun for both dogs and owners.  We ask that each dog is relatively fit and healthy and able to work in a group with other dogs and people. We have at least 2 instructors per group of 6 dogs and our equipment is international competition standard, made by the top agility equipment manufacturer in the UK.

 

Agility is a popular canine sport in which the ultimate goal is teamwork: a handler directs a dog through a variety of obstacles such as a tunnel, see-saw, hoop, A-frame, walker, weave poles and standard winged jumps.

 

-  Agility fulfills a dog’s natural instincts

-  Agility is great exercise for your dog

-  Agility helps owners & dogs get in shape

-  Agility helps strengthen the bond between owner and dog

 

Your dog’s responsibility is to execute the agility obstacles, or in dog terms, running, jumping, climbing etc.  Your responsibility is to direct the dog on the course and show them where to go next.  

 

Agility is all about speed and precision, and is great exercise for both you and your dog!  Agility is a great confidence builder for timid dogs, or a great energy release for those dogs that are just too wound up.   The bond that training and competing creates between dog and handler is like no other.  You learn how to communicate through motion and body cues.   A successful agility team of dog & owner is not necessarily the fastest, but a team in which motion is smooth and flawless.
