Our Services
Dog agility
All classes take place at our yard, Elf Stables, Marlpit lane, Woodmancote, West Sussex PO10 8EQ. This is a fully fenced outdoor sand school with lighting for the winter months.
No matter your age, size or mobility dog agility is open to all types of dog owners and most dog breeds. The main aim of agility is for you and your dog to have fun! You do not need to be competitive to enjoy agility, classes include beginners, just for fun and competition.
All our lessons are positive reward based with high praise using toys and treats, so please bring along toys and/or treats to help motivate and praise your dog during class.
We start pre-agility training from 8 months. This training includes lots of ground work and basics for agility, including pole work, tunnels and shaping exercises. From 1 year, when your dog reaches maturity, we start putting these skills to the agility equipment.
If you become addicted to agility, as many do, there are an abundance of training days and shows available throughout the year. We are available to help guide you through how to enter, the rules, and any other questions that you may have about these.
