Fun, agility training for all.
Agility is an exciting and engaging sport that allows dogs of all breeds to participate. The key considerations are ensuring that your dog is not jumped before they reach 12 months of age and making sure they enjoy the process. Agility training is all about fun, building teamwork, and fostering a strong bond between you and your dog.
Agility Skills and Training at Fresh Start Dog Training
At Fresh Start Dog Training, we focus on making agility training enjoyable and accessible for all dogs. Our reward-based approach helps dogs build key skills like weaves, contact equipment, and jumping techniques at their own pace, fostering confidence and teamwork.
As an experienced and qualified Kennel Club judge, we bring expert knowledge to our training, ensuring that both you and your dog develop the skills needed for success. Whether you’re just starting or refining your agility skills, we tailor our training to each dog’s needs, creating a supportive environment for growth.
Jumping
From the first jump to grids, and then small courses. Teach your dog how to efficiently and swiftly work his way around the course.
Weaves
Teach your dog to weave, starting with the correct entry for two weaves until they can pick up a weave entry within a full course.
Contact Equipment
Starting with mat work, learn the AFrame, and then move on to teach your dog a perfect running, or 2 on 2 off contact on the dog walk.
Seesaw
A real confidence skill, the seesaw needs to be taught sympathetically and carefully to ensure that your dog is not scared of it at any point.
Tunnels
Teach your dog tunnel confidence, from first introductions to constructing courses. Including the tunnel madness challenge.
Fitness
With our very hit and miss weather, sometimes training can’t happen. Learn some fitness exercises to keep your dog fit on those wet and rainy days.
