Agility Training

At Pawfection we believe that the best way to teach your dog is with kindness and not through fear and compulsion.

Agility is a FUN, FAST-paced sport for humans and canines to enjoy!

Looking to take your dog’s skills to the next level? Let’s face it, standard obedience training can sometimes be very dull and boring. When you find yourself constantly telling a dog to ‘sit’ or ‘stay,’ things can become very static and it can be hard to keep motivation levels up. The answer is NOT bribery with treats! The key to having an attentive and focused dog is to make this learning process enjoyable and fun. We do this through constructive games of play so that your dog learns to engage with you over the environment. (Not going after the dog in the distance or chasing after that squirrel!) Instead, they are CHOOSING to interact with you.

‘Starter’ Group

Beginner course for those who want to get a taste of what the sport entails. There is so much more than just training equipment and running fast! We will look at handling skills, developing focus off lead, ‘trick’ training, and shaping and building value with obstacles. This course is suitable for younger, adolescent dogs. However, please note that full contacts, or physical jumping work, will not be done with those who are under 18 months. It is not recommended to do so as they are still physically maturing. ‘Poles on floor’ are an option for those not yet old enough. (Still just as fun!)

‘Agility Addicts’

For those who have caught the bug and wish to attend classes on an ongoing basis for fun, or for those who are thinking about entering competitions. This will be a relaxed social group, so there will still be (fun!) work, but with tea and chats afterwards if you’re that way inclined!

Clients Testimonials

Amy Evans

I got Bailey from rescue, because of her background she can be very shy and wary of people and other dogs. Kevin was instrumental in giving me the skills to reduce and overcome her anxiety which has made both our lives so much easier. Cannot recommend Kevin highly enough – and would recommend him to anyone who has dogs with behavioural issues.

Ashley Barreth

Kevin has worked wonders with my Cockerpoo Holly and I would recommend him to anyone.

Jim Curran

A Fantastic trainer, we have seen huge improvements from our one to one sessions with Kevin. He has a very calm and relaxed demeanour which our Labrador Maxwell instantly connected with. Training was made simple and was enjoyable for us and our Dog.
