‼️DOG AGILITY COMING TO ANGLESEY THIS SUMMER‼️
Due to popular demand I have added a new date 23.06 at 6pm.
Dog agility is a popular and fun sport in which a handler directs a dog through a series of obstacles as accurately as possible in a race against the clock. Dogs run off lead, being guided only by the voice commands and body signals of their handler. This requires intensive training and great co-ordination between handler and dog.
An agility course consists of a number of standard obstacles including tunnels, A-frames, hoop jumps and weave poles.
Agility has many benefits:
✔Burning off energy and addressing boredom, which will lead to a reduction in destructive behaviours around the home and even address some forms of aggression
✔An increase in self esteem for nervous and anxious dogs
✔An increase in awareness and alertness, and a sharpening of the dog’s mind
✔An improved bond between you and your dog, which will lead to a better all round relationship
✔Better health and fitness for both you and your dog
✔Much needed exercise which is a basic need of EVERY dog
✔Increased trust and confidence
✔Better basic obedience, with the ability to follow instruction
✔Improved flexibility
✔Fun for both you and your dog
✔An outlet for working, high energy and active breeds
✔Increased fitness, flexibility and stamina for dogs and their handlers
