Want a more confident and capable dog? When training, it's tempting to physically guide them over obstacles or through exercises. We think we're helping, but it actually hinders their learning!

When you push or pull your dog, they can't learn using their own balance and body awareness. They'll start to rely on your physical support, rather than truly understanding the task themselves.

The secret? Allow them to learn through trial and error! And instead of manipulating your dog, manipulate the environment. Set up the training space so the correct choice is the most obvious one (e.g., the tunnel is the only clear path).

This approach builds incredible problem-solving skills, confidence, and a deep understanding in your dog. Let them figure it out, and watch them shine!

Did you know that when it comes to dog agility, higher jumps aren't always better? At Pinkfox Agility, we really focus on what's best for your dog, and that includes how high they jump.

It's true, dogs are amazing athletes and can often clear some pretty high obstacles! But if they're only practicing their jump skills once a week, the specific muscles needed for safe jumping and landing might not be strong enough for a full training session. This can lead to fatigue, muscle strain, and even injury.

That's why, unless you're aiming for competitive agility, we keep our jumps on the smaller side. We want your dog to absolutely love their time with us, without the risk of feeling overwhelmed or getting tired too quickly. Your dog's comfort, enjoyment, and overall well-being are always our top priority at Pinkfox Agility training.

Suitable for dog's 15 months and older and sequencing at least 10 obstacles.

No weaves in the course however they will be set up in the netted ring for your dog to practice if they want to. The wall, long jump and tyre will also be available too.

Spaces are limited to ensure each partnership has plenty of time on the course.

Feeling inspired today and wanted to share some love with all you incredible dog agility enthusiasts! ❤️ Whether you're just starting your journey with dog agility training for beginners or you're a seasoned pro, remember this: you are more than capable of achieving your version of success.

Success in agility isn't just about ribbons or speed (unless that's your goal!). It's about strengthening your bond with your dog, celebrating every tiny breakthrough, and having a blast together. Maybe success for you is a perfectly executed weave pole sequence, a confident run through a tunnel, or simply watching your dog's joy as they conquer a new obstacle.

Whatever it is, you've got this! Believe in yourselves and your amazing canine partners. Every step forward is a win!

At Pinkfox Agility, we're often asked about jump heights, and it's a great question! While many dogs can clear impressive obstacles, we believe that just because they can, doesn't always mean they should.

Jumping, especially high jumps, uses muscles not typically engaged in a dog's daily life. If a dog is only practicing jumping once a week, these muscles won't be developed enough to sustain an entire training session without fatigue. This significantly increases the risk of injury or muscle strain.

That's why, at Pinkfox, unless you're specifically training for competition, you'll see smaller jumps in our classes. Our priority is your dog's physical and emotional well-being. We want them to enjoy agility training without getting overwhelmed or fatigued quickly by high obstacles in a sequence. Happy, healthy dogs make the best agility partners!

Ever wondered why your Collie, Spaniel, or Cockerpoo still has endless energy after a long walk? 🤔 It's a common experience with these brilliant, high-energy breeds! While those hour-plus strolls are great for physical fitness, they often don't quite hit the spot when it comes to truly tiring them out.

The thing is, these amazing dogs are working breeds – they're designed to work! 💪 Long walks keep them physically fit, but their clever minds also crave stimulation and a good challenge. That's where regular training comes in! 🧠

Whether it's focusing on obedience, getting creative with heelwork to music, or having a blast with dog agility, training provides that crucial mental workout. And the best part? You absolutely don't need to be aiming for competitions to see the incredible benefits of agility training! 🎉

I often hear from my clients how wonderfully worn out their dogs are after an agility session. It's not just the running and jumping; it's the mental puzzle of figuring out the course and working together to earn their favourite rewards. It's a fantastic way to tap into their natural intelligence and drive.

So, if you're looking for ways to truly satisfy your high-energy pup, consider incorporating regular training into your routine. You might be surprised at the difference it makes! 😊

Ever wish you could truly connect with your dog on a deeper level, in a way they genuinely understand and appreciate? ❤️ I get it! Sometimes it feels like we're speaking different languages.

Dog agility training is a fantastic way to bridge that gap! It's not just about obstacles; it's about learning how to communicate clearly with your dog. As your coach, I'll guide you every step of the way, helping you understand how to speak their language through movement, cues, and positive reinforcement.

Imagine the joy of truly working together, understanding each other's signals, and building an even stronger bond. Agility can unlock that for you and your dog. 😊

Just sharing a little tip from our agility training sessions that might be helpful. Sometimes we need to gently take hold of our dogs during training, and if your pup tends to pull away or mouth when you do, here's a thought! 😊

As long as your dog is comfortable with you holding their collar or harness, try this: while your dog is watching, casually place a yummy treat just behind your heel. Then, gently take hold of your dog whilst they munch away. The idea is that they'll start to associate being taken hold of as a positive action. 🐾

Remember, it's super important to be gentle and avoid reaching out quickly – we don't want to startle them! They'll always be quicker than us anyway! 😉 The goal is to build a positive association over time, so with lots of gentle repetitions, your dog might just start seeing being held as a good thing! 👍

Happy training! Let me know if you've tried this or have any other tips to share! 😊

"The key to success is to start before you are ready." How true is that, especially when it comes to dog agility! ❤️ If you've been thinking about giving agility a go but are waiting until your dog is "more obedient," please don't! You can absolutely start right now. 😊

Dog agility isn't just about jumping and weaving; it's a fantastic journey that helps you build an incredible bond with your dog. It's all about finding a way to move through life together, built on clear and consistent communication and, most importantly, trust. ✨

Think of agility as a fun way to learn together. It naturally encourages better focus and understanding between you and your dog. So, ditch the idea of needing perfect obedience first and come join the fun! You might be surprised at how much you both enjoy it and how it strengthens your connection. 🐾
