Dog with bundles of unchanneled energy and bounce?
We’re 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 they’re busy doing something ‘important’ to name a few!
Maybe you’ve enjoyed agility equipment in local dog fields or brought some kit for home and would like to have us guide you on how to give agility a go?
Agility is a wonderful activity for dogs who love to be busy.
Workshops are an accessible way to give agility a go. Suitable for all ages, breeds, and experience levels.
Introducing your dogs to this new challenge will keep their brain ticking and focus their love for life.
What to expect
- When you book, you can expect welcome emails with all the details you need before the day. Here at Anglian Dog Works, we love the community around us and would love for you to connect so you will be invited to join our private Facebook Group where we add introductory posts and will share any photos/videos from the sessions.
- Come along to our venue in Balsham near Cambridge and have an overview of some exercises covered in the agility courses. The session will be in two halves and cover activities such as an introduction to the tunnel and jump training with a tea & coffee break in the dog-friendly yurt roughly halfway through.
- We love hosting the workshops and they are a lot of fun for all involved; they can also be a good way to see if joining one of our courses would be the right fit so you will get clear follow up outlining options with Anglian Dog Works if you do decide you’d like to keep going with your agility training.
A satisfied dog is truly a pleasure to spend time with
You will take home a happy and satisfied dog after having tried something new because agility provides an outlet for their energy through mental and physical stimulation.
We love to share our beautiful farm venue with new groups, sessions are a lot of fun and it’s always nice for you guys to meet other dogs and like-minded handers too.

The workshops are suited for all experience levels, even if you have done little or no training before.
The friendly professional team will be there to offer support and guidance should you need it, as well as throw in challenges for those that want one!
Handlers don't worry that you will have to do lots of running! In our agility training, we progress in layers and will only be doing short sequences in the workshops; if you and your dog’s continue agility the aim will be to advance their skill by building independence, so they work at a distance from you responding to your cues (giving you a head start!).
