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.

Had the best time last weekend at Old Royal Naval College Greenwich Dog Show, running free tasters and an 'agility demo' with some brave dogs and humans with little to no experience
Kristy Hickman & Foxy rocked the big stage

See-saw training in your living room... Reinforcing Koro's '2 on 2 off' position.
Teaching your dog to walk over uneven platforms and surfaces is also great for their body confidence and 'proprioception' (body awareness)!

And even more new things to shout about... we have a proper new tunnel from Naylor Agility Tunnels and a folding fisherman's cart for lugging it (and everything else) around. Somehow team colours always accidentally seem to end up as royal blue - I'm embracing it...

Dog Training in and around Greenwich & Charlton / Agility General Obedience & Puppy Tricks & Play

14/10/2023

A glorious Moxie-eye view of the blue tunnel - our other dog today had to be introduced to the tunnel slowly, by bunching it up to make it shorter, as she was a little worried by it at full-length. You get a better idea of why the tunnel intimidates some dogs initially when you see it from their level!

14/10/2023

And another mini-size newbie today, Moxie the mini Schnauzer

14/10/2023

Introducing newbie, Winnie the cockapoo, she has some serious sproing in her step

09/10/2023

I had the privilege of being able to borrow Silver for a week. We worked towards her being able to 'drive ahead' with me running parallel to the jumps - she's learned not to come straight to me for her reward, but to seek out obstacles ahead of her.

But actually, the more impressive achievement here is probably Koro......
I've asked her to stay on a place-marker (I use a tea towel!) whilst I work with another dog. It's taken much much training to get her to the point where

1. She CAN resist the temptation of jumping into the fray with other fast-moving dogs and toys.
2. She WANTS to stay on the place-marker, because I've shown her it's the better deal when I send her there.
3. I've been able to FADE OUT reward for being there so I have the time to work with another dog at the same time.
4. She can DISTINGUISH between commands meant for the other dog, and commands meant for her. (e.g. she used to release from her place if I gave my release cue to the other dog. Now she will pick up on my eye contact to understand when I'm talking to her.)

With all of that in place, I now have the flexibility to bring her along and work with multiple dogs at once without her feeling frustrated!

I often think the biggest training achievements are the ones that nobody notices because it just looks like you have an 'easy' dog - but it takes a lot of work to get there.

A gorgeous day was had at Beats, Boards & BQQ Fest in Charlton Park at the weekend! Dog Skateboarding & Agility tasters...

We were hoping the crazy wind levels would result in some super speedy skateboarding dogs, but it largely just meant the agility jumps kept falling over... The dogs literally took it all in their stride.

Thanks to everyone who came, and to everyone who made it happen!

14/07/2023

It's tomorrow! The dogs are descending on Charlton Park for *Dog Skateboarding* and *Agility Taster Sessions* at the Beats, Boards & BBQ Festival.

19/06/2023

Koro & I got ourselves a WIN at the Axstane Agility Club show this weekend🙌
The winning run was of course the only one that didn't get videoed, so all I have is this rather magnificent rosette to prove it........
