Problem solving,
Tricks,

Outdoor training,
Taster sessions for various activities
…and more!

QR code ID tags

These seem to be gaining popularity. You scan the QR code and it brings up information about your pet (owner details, medical alerts etc) however they do not satisfy the legal requirements of an ID tag.

By law your dogs tag needs to have owners surname, first line of address and postcode.

These QR tags are great for extra info but they do not replace a standard tag. Please also be wary of putting your dogs name on any tag - if someone finds your dog, they know its name which makes it much easier to take.

We have reduced our Agility Foundations course to 4 weeks!

Why?

Lots of people don’t realise what is involved when they first start, they think it’s as simple as just telling the dog to do the obstacles and follow a treat.
Agility involves the handler learning how to handle the dog as well as give timely directions to the dog. The handler needs to learn different skills such as:
🐾Front cross,
🐾Blind cross
🐾Rear cross
🐾Post turn and more
and the dog needs to learn how to interpret what the handler wants.
The dog also needs to learn multiple verbal cues for the obstacles and directions (I have 19 Agility cues!) and it needs to learn how to safely negotiate all of the equipment with confidence and independence.

As you can imagine this can’t be achieved in a short course!

We offer a 4 week foundation class in which dogs and handlers learn some of the basics and they can see if it’s something they would like to continue with. Then they can then join a regular class to continue their training. We do progress awards keep handlers motivated and see where they are at with their training.
Agility is great physical and mental stimulation for a dog (and handler!)

📅We have our first 4 week course starting on Tuesday 2nd June
⏰6pm
📍Leybourne Riding Stables, ME20 7DS

We are currently planning the rest of our summer classes and potentially have space for a Saturday morning class and a Monday middle of the day class, both to be held at Homewood, ME16 9LX. If you are interested in any of these please get in touch.

We have a Hoopers taster session planned for Wed 27th May at 6.15pm. A 1hr session to introduce the basics to see if it’s something you and your dog may enjoy as a regular activity. Suitable for pups from 4 months and older dogs too as it’s a low impact activity.
Only £15 for the session!!
