AGILITY

Agility is what we really focus on at Devon Dogs, and this is where our expertise comes into play.  Our trainers’ dogs compete at championship and international levels across the world and we want to share our experience and skill with you. Who knows, perhaps you will also reach this level one day if you so wish?

In return we expect full participation from you for the full hour that you are with us in class. You will also be set work to do outside the class. Our groups are dynamic and we will slot you into a group that is the best mix for you and your dog. This may mean a short time on our waiting list as we only hold a select number of classes and most of our customers stay with us and remain part of our club.

This is a unique and fast growing popular sport that can very quickly turn into an addiction! To start with, your dog will need to be up to a certain standard to begin agility classes. He/she may need to have gone to puppy foundations or obedience for agility first. We will offer assessment and help in deciding where best to start.

You will be offered structured learning in monthly blocks with on-going assessment to check on progress. You will be trained using tried and proven methods by professional and experienced trainers. You will learn on competition standard equipment and will be taught skills in contact and weaves, jumping and many other agility moves, all at a level that suits you.

This is the class where we can really fine tune behaviours and shape successful dogs. We can identify areas for improvement and allow owners the opportunity to see how well their dogs are learning and how their relationship and canine partnership has developed.

We welcome dogs that want to compete as well as dogs that just want to keep fit and have fun. We passionately believe that agility is for everyone, not just particular breeds of dogs, but all breeds, all shapes, all sizes and all ages. Agility classes cost £10 per class payable on a monthly basis. Classes are currently held on a Thursday evening and Saturday morning.

We also offer agility on a 1-2-1 basis if the class environment does not suit you or your dog, or if you want to work towards a specific aim or objective.


Molly jumping

"It is difficult to put into words how much Lauren has helped me with Molly.
Before I started training with Lauren Molly was a wreck in the ring, spooking in the line, barking at the judges and I was very lucky to get round a whole course without problems. Within 4 months of Lauren's positive attitude and training methods, I had a changed dog, to the extent of getting our frist agility win at the start of the season.
I owe everything to Lauren, I have now stopped going to my local club and only train with Lauren.
