Winner Of Dog Trainer Of The Year - Buckinghamshire 2022

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rated 5 Stars by Local Dog Owners

Recreational Agility Training in Amersham, Buckinghamshire

Agility is a great outlet for physical and mental energy, both for dogs and their humans!

It also helps to build your dog’s confidence, encourage self-control and improve distraction training.

Our agility training will also further develop your bond together whilst you have fun in a small group setting or individually as 1 to 1s.

Upcoming Agility Training Classes

In order to start our recreational agility sessions, your dog needs to be at least 12 months of age and have no underlying health conditions which could affect agility training – if in doubt about the suitability for your dog, please book a free assessment call.

For group training, dogs must be sociable around others and have a reasonable recall.

Improvers Agility

Priority for Improvers Agility is given to handlers signing up to a discounted price direct debit but this does not always suit everyone so from time to time we have single month bookings available for the Improvers Agility courses.

These blocks are for dogs who have previously completed a beginners course with us or elsewhere, but please check with us that this specific session is suitable for your ability level.

Improvers Agility

Who?

Dogs must have completed a beginners agility course with us or elsewhere, with your dog being reasonably competent through 6 straight weaves (with guides if required) and familiar with the dog walk and A frame at full height. Dogs must be friendly around dogs and people. as well as having basic obedience skills.

What?

Aiming more at recreational handlers, our qualified experienced trainer will guide you through navigating a full set of competition standard agility equipment safely. Groups are kept to a maximum of 4-5 dogs to ensure maximum learning.

When?

After completion of your beginners course, we will let you know what availability there is for your current level of ability and endeavour to schedule a session to suit if there is nothing available. Sessions take place at various times throughout the week, both daytimes, weekends and evenings, with each session lasting 1 hour. It may be necessary to adjust the session time from time to time depending on the weather but this will be a joint decision with the whole group.

Where?

Group training takes place at our own training centre at Copas Farrm, High Street, Old Amersham, HP7 0EG. The agility training usually takes place outdoors in our secure paddock but if the weather is exceptionally bad (very heavy rain, strong winds, below 0 degrees or over 22 degrees), training will take place in our training hall (with fans/air conditioning as required).
