And a very cuddly little spaniel!

Kevin navigating herself round this course.

Happy how she is progressing 🔥 now that she is 19 months we can start progressing to more “adult” training. Learning more sequencing!

Just ignore the naughty dog walk and pole knock ending. 😉

Fun little sequence that Callie smashed. Pushing her independence.

Weave is looking brilliant😊

My flying little Kevin 😊 Showcasing her insane 5 stride dog walk.

I’m introducing loose turns, and getting her used to me running in front of her exit- whilst she learns to maintain her patterned stride.

12/06/2023

What better way to show off the new cap😉

Kevin at 14 months!

She is booked in for her first full physio check over tomorrow!
Also booked in for her spey in July. So fingers crossed both go to plan!😊

Getting your dog checked over at a physio is something i definitely recommend! Especially for competing dogs- make sure they are all structurally sound and can give suitable fitness exercises for them!

Always a big soft spot for Shelties!!

This lovely girl is Amelia 😊 getting to show off her talents. Lovely partnership to work with!

24/05/2023

Making progress with Kevins dog walk. We are aiming for regular short 10 minute sessions to really help with her patterning/ muscle memory.
Regular access to a dog walk is pretty vital for this.

Love her understanding of her own body. Feel she has benefiting from all the awareness games as a puppy!

Happy offer 1/1s for both running and stop contacts! Whatever part of the journey you are on🐶

Massive well done to little Willow for winning into G2!! 🥳🥳

Willows owner has been totally onboard with what we are trying to improve with her since joining- and brill to see the rewards ⭐️

Now time to double down on her contact criteria!!! 😝

23/04/2023

I reference my skateboard training with Kevin a fair bit so thought i would make a video on it😊 (any excuse to show off my girl!)

Body awareness is an important part of agility but also dog’s development and something i have focused on with my pup.

I wanted to show that you don’t need any fancie equipment or massive space. Just some creativity and effort 😊 this session is just Kevin earning her dinner. Rather then a bowl of food we made a game for her.

Criteria for contacts is so important! Aiming to create value to a 2 on 2 off position- for both the seesaw and if you are doing stop contacts.

Please do your homework 😝📚 📚 📚

* this game can be done on any sort of step! Or shoebox! However if you choose the skateboard path please make sure to stabilise the board (explains the pillows….) I love the slight movement it offers but we Don’t want them getting hurt if it properly rolls.

Clever lil Archie learning his foundations 😊
Understanding it all very naturally!

Love this personalised manners minders bag i got from Christine’s K9 creations!!

Poppy smashing her first 1/1 😊 introducing her to all our foundation work.

Keen to see how she gets on with all her homework! 📚 📚 📚

15/03/2023

11 month old Kevin learning some weave entry skills😊 shes too young still to do any proper weaving but we have taken the opportunity to work on distance entries with open channels!

Filmed the whole session. Kept it short - working from different sides using both push and off hand entries.

Opportunity to get yourself a hoodie just before the competition season starts🥳🥳

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of starting Koston Agility🥳🥳

Been a great journey so far, and feel we are only just getting started!! Cant wait to see so many of you compete this year, showcasing what we have been doing😊

The name of the club is after my old boy Koston. Better known as Kosty or Papa bear. Hes no longer with us but i felt it was the best way to carry his legacy. So this is his smooshy little face below. He was the best dog. Just like every dog!

🐶🐶🐶To celebrate- anyone that shares this, ill do a lucky draw and give the winner a free 1/1 🐶🐶🐶

11/02/2023

Price list for any bookings 1st April 2023 onwards!

Group blocks are done on a rolling month basis so price is determined by how many weeks we will have in that block. That will be provided at the start of each month

Any questions let me know!

Thanks
Dom

Some of the stuff we have been up to this week! Loved this run. Was such a massive win for Callie! She isn’t the easiest dog, mainly due her over enthusiasm😂 dont think any dog loves agility as much as Callie… Brilliant to see it starting to come together. She is driving fast when we want, and her tight decels in this were perfect. Owners have had to work really hard for this but totally worth it. Shes still just a baby at 1 😊

Course sequencing is so fun to teach😊 this video has 2 dogs, with 2 different handlers showcasing different ways of doing a sequence. Both of them smashed it out the park. Video does a great job of showing different ways of doing a different sequence. Theres never 1 correct way to run a course. Needs to be what is suited to yourself and your dog!

Basic exercise I set up for my pup, Kevin as i slowly introduce her to Agility. 😊 at this stage I’m encouraging as much forward drive and enthusiasm as i can. She is running to her favourite toy in the distance to work on that drive. Kevin is also food motivated which is great- but now I’m also encouraging some tug play. Tug toys can be really useful tools going forward. 😊

Some clips to show the kind of games i have been doing with Kevin! 🐥🐥🐥🐥 Kev is 4 months old, so she is too young to start any agility. However there are plenty foundation games to be learnt! She has been with me for just over 2 weeks so my main focus has been bonding with her and getting her settled in😊 These training sessions i’m doing with her is focused on ‘shaping’. This is the idea that Kevin had to use problem solving to figure how to get a reward. 🐶 All positive based! 🐶
