Causeway Dog Training is the leading dog sports provider on the north coast, with numerous agility classes running through the week both in Portrush at Maddybenny Farm, and Armoy at Limepark. Classes have a fun community feel and a lot of new friends are made. Gemma competes in agility with her collie x Polly and deaf springer spaniel, Flash. Sports 1-1 (both agility and hoopers) are held at Limepark in Armoy, perfect for reactive dogs, or those already training in the sport who need more specific coaching to nail a skill or reach a goal. Puppy and adolescent classes are held at Benvardin Kennels on Thursday evenings, covering everything required to make fabulous, well rounded pets. These classes cover recall, settling, focus, lead walking, handling and more.
1-1 training is available for adult dogs requiring individualised training plans and behaviour modification; and for puppies to get them started on the right path with training and good routines. Get in touch to see how your relationship with your dog can be taken to the next level!
