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’re looking for something fun to do together regularly to keep your dogs physically and mentally stimulated?
Agility helps dogs and owners enjoy an active life together
Courses will give you a great insight into the dog sport agility and help master the basics skills.
Introducing your dogs to this new challenge will keep their brain ticking and focus their love for life.
How they work
£99 for a 4-week course of 60-minute classes + 1 free x 45-minute Individual Training Session (Worth £40 when booked as a standalone session)
Your initial confirmation email will include a coupon code you can redeem on the Anglian Dog Works’ online booking system to book the 121 at no additional cost.
- 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. You will be invited to join our private Facebook Group where we add introductory posts and share any photos/videos from sessions..
- You will meet each week at the venue in Balsham near Cambridge with the Training Team and like-minded handlers to learn new agility skills by being guided through steps of progressive exercises.
-
For example: Teaching dogs to sit-stay at the start line & confidently run straight and curved tunnels. Learning to take jumps in a line and ‘fans’ without ducking under or swerving around the outside. Turn left and right when given a directional cue. Run independently down a line of jumps and improve recall. Plus, teaching you agility handling moves such as ‘pull-throughs’, ‘serpentines’ and ‘front crosses’.
- Each week of the course has a theme, so if you miss a session of your block, you won't find yourself behind the rest of the group when you return.
- The 121 included in your package can be used to focus on your training goals: anything from general obedience, puppy training to agility, gundog work or content from the classes.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“…Each session is very well organized, with exercises clearly explained and the emphasis is on your dog enjoying it all! We are learning so much…” Debbie, Course Attendee
- After training, you will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to train your dog. You will receive clear instructions and the steps on how to continue your independent practice for dog agility training, at home, between classes.
- When you complete the block of classes you will be invited to Agility Club sessions, exclusively for course graduates and those that come to agility 121s. These pay-as-you-go 1-hour group classes are tailored to the individuals who sign up and are designed to help our experienced dogs continue to progress.

The courses 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 to start with and progressively advance your dogs’ skill and confidence by building independence, so they work at a distance from you responding to your cues (giving you a head start!).
