Dog with bundles of unchanneled energy and bounce?
Weāre working dog owners and know what it can be like living with a smart and energetic dog! Without an appropriate channel, their boundless energy and unmet natural instincts can come out in all sorts of problematic ways: running, chasing, playing, hunting and lack of hearing when theyāre busy doing something āimportantā to name a few!
Maybe youāre looking for something fun to do together regularly to keep your dogs physically and mentally stimulated?
A flexible, results-driven agility programme for handlers who want to channel their dog's energy, build confidence, and master skills before stepping onto the field.
Each week, youāll work on a new agility skill, improving focus, and building trust as a team ā all before stepping onto full equipment or into a busy group class.
Across the nine progressive stages, youāll learn essential handling moves, teaching your dog how to drive forward, turn on cue, and complete sequences.
By the end of the programme, youāll be confidently navigating jumps, tunnels, and turns ā and running a short course just like you would in the Agility Club, which youāll be invited to join on completion.
Agility Club sessions run multiple times a week at different days and times to offer a flexible follow-on option for course graduates at discounted members-only prices.

Watch Rosieās Transformation
The video starts with Rosieās tentative first jumps. I then coached her handler through exercises to do at home, and when they returned, Rosie was confidently running full agility courses with jumps and tunnels.
Many of my regulars began exactly where you are now, sign up today, and be running courses in a few weeks!

āāāāāāā¦ Both of us learnt lots of new skills and we ended up completing a reasonably long agility course after a short amount of time! Each week brought something different but built on previous skills - this approach kept us both engaged and eager to return!ā

Key Features
Combine home practice with in-person classes
More time training, less time commuting or waiting around. Youāll come to class already confident in the skills youāve been practising at home, so you get the most from your time on the equipment.
1:1 coaching throughout
With professional guidance and WhatsApp support, youāll be able to ask questions, share videos, and receive personalised feedback throughout the programme.
Small Group Sizes
Group sessions are just 3ā6 dogs, giving your dog the space they need to focus, ensuring a positive learning environment allowing you to get the most from handling practice on the agility equipment.
Flexible in-person sessions
Choose dates and times that work for you from the online timetable.
Unlock stages as you go
The 9 Step Programme can get you running full courses in as little as 6 weeks, but progression is based on your dogās confidence and ability ā not the pace of the group. No rushing, no pressure to keep up. Each stage prepares you for the next.
Additional benefits
Ongoing access to members' training options at discounted prices, including group classes, workshops, and events exclusive to Anglian Dog Works graduates or dogs with a similar skill level.
āāāāāāā¦ The small classes for the foundation course gave my GSD space to learn and has definitely helped build her confidence ā¦ Have decided to continue on with agility to continue to build on her confidence and also because it helps tire her out mentallyā
