Agility sessions all aimed at beginners or pre-competition level - all breeds and people welcome, whether you're looking to get serious or here for a laugh! Agility is a sport, where you work with your dog, as a team, to send your dog around an obstacle course as speedily as possible. Fastest dog wins (but dogs do NOT run at the same time!!)


WHO ARE WE? Kesia & Koro - I compete with my own dog, Koro the Australian Shepherd, in ‘Grade 1’, with a healthy number of Kennel Club Jumping wins. We’ll be competing in other categories to move up the grades this year. I teach foundations and how to start off for people without extensive experience. I train with Angus Macfarlane, who competes as a 'Grade 7' agility handler (top level nationally), and sometimes comes down to run guest sessions with us. I’m currently studying a level 3 diploma in Dog Behaviour with the British College of Canine Studies, have an IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) Partnership Grade 3 certificate, and have taken training courses with Devon Dogs and Friendly Creatures, as well as personal coaching with the UK’s top ‘interactive play’ expert Craig Ogilvie. I have also been supported by a charity in ‘owner training’ Koro as my assistance dog.

It’s a misconception that a “high energy dog” just needs to run for hours. Yes, they love a good sprint — but what they really crave is problem-solving: mental and physical challenges. That’s what agility offers.

1. Listening to you = Fun
Agility turns you into their teammate and guide. Your words and movement become the gateway to a highly rewarding experience.

2. They get to be wild
High-energy dogs need calmness and impulse control — but also safe outlets to go full throttle. Agility lets them chase the adrenaline rush and learn to stay in control with you, not against you.

Stop trying to stop excitable dogs from being excitable — channel it!

3. Calmer at home
A dog that’s worked through challenges with you is far more ready to relax and recharge.

A little late in posting, but here is a boast post on Koro’s latest…

She made it to the KC ABC (Anything But Collies) Stakes Semi-Final, held at the Kennel Club International Agility Festival at the beginning of August…

Competing in the main ring at KCI seems to suit her - she ran a paw-perfect run, and as one of the top 5 dogs in the semi-final, has now made it to the FINAL 😮 So we’ll be competing again at the London Horse of the Year Show in December in a Kennel Club Grand Final! 😁

She is such a good little dog - the top ‘ABC’ dogs in the UK compete in qualifiers all over the country to get through to the semi-final, so at least for a few months I can (and will 😂) say she’s one of the Top 5 ABC dogs in the country 👑

!!We were overall RUNNERS UP at the Kennel Club Starters Cup Grand Final!!

This was the most intense venue and highest profile comp we have done, complete with big audiences and booming commentary - I was delighted just to see Koro (and me) coping with the environment, and didn't expect to come in overall *2nd place*!

We came *2nd* in the Agility round (video here), and 5th in the Jumping (she fluffed her weave entry), coming in as overall runners up.

When pretty much every other dog in the category is a border collie, I am extra proud of my non collie dog for holding her own. Though everyone may think she's a collie, she isn't, and Aussies just don't have the same physique for those tight tight turns and effortless jumps, so to come in 2nd is a huge achievement.

I've never posted here about Koro's assistance training - I'm quite cagey about it, because I usually stay private about my 'condition'. But I had so much fun with it yesterday that I'm posting away - and part of the motivation of building her up to work as my autism assistance dog is also to help me be more open about it!

When she's not jumping jumps and running through tunnels, Koro is learning 'public access' behaviour (staying calm, focussed and non-disruptive in non-dog-friendly locations) and tasks to help me in situations I struggle with.

Yesterday, she started learning to find a target person. Once she's learned it from more distance, when I'm overwhelmed in crowded, overstimulating places (e.g., central London 😬), I'll be able to ask her to follow the person I'm with so I don't have so much to focus on until I'm somewhere calmer.

I LOVE teaching Koro new things - her eyes go absolutely enormous with excitement when she starts catching on. She started to catch onto this new task in seconds!

I bit the bullet and shelled out for these amazing photos of Koro's summer competing from Gemsdale Photography - she looks so happy, I couldn't resist 🥰 Look at her little ears fly!

I rarely manage to get footage of Koro's good runs, usually I only capture the bad ones - but here is a lovely run from Wessex this weekend, and one of our wins towards Grade 4, we just need one more, now!

We spent this weekend at the Kennel Club International Agility Festival and the livestream shows us coming *3rd* in the Starters Cup Semi-Final, out of some ~120 dogs participating.
She is such a super little dog and she pulled it out the bag when it mattered!

This means we've qualified for the Finals, which will take place in London this winter! 😬
