Perfect for anyone searching for dog agility training or puppy agility training.

While your dog needs basic obedience such as a sit and recall off lead or on a long line, the most important thing is that you come with the right mindset, a good bond, and a willingness to learn and put in the practice.

Dogs must be able to focus in a group setting and never shown aggression or bitten a person/another animal.

Note: if group sessions are not suitable, the syllabus can be covered on a 121 basis MORE INFO

Foundation group classes are kept small (4–6 dogs) so that adequate space can be allowed for dogs to concentrate and feel comfortable. However, all dogs share the same field. If a group environment feels overwhelming for your dog right now, we can complete the foundations via one to one training instead.

Will 1-to-1s prevent us from joining Agility Club later?
Not at all! Completing foundations individually still gives you a pathway into group training.

Our Barton venue is set up with great environmental management:

• Two fully enclosed fields
• Screened fencing
• A separate, screened waiting area
• An additional gate for dogs needing extra space
• Strictly one dog working off-lead at a time

Fear, Anxiety, or Aggression:
Neither the 1-to-1 nor the group course is designed for dogs who react aggressively towards other dogs or people. In these cases, you’ll be better supported by a qualified behaviourist who can address the deeper emotional triggers and provide structured behaviour modification. You can find an accredited professional through the IMDT directory.

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.

Yes. Once you book, you don’t have to wait for your first session to get started.

You’ll receive onboarding support and simple pre-session training games to begin working on at home. This helps us make the most of your first session and start building progress straight away.

Training at home means you can build strong foundations early, before applying them to real agility equipment.

That way, you’ll arrive at class ready — and because everyone in the workshop has completed the same homework, you’ll all be working at a similar level.

This means fair, productive coaching for everyone, and less waiting around while other dogs catch up.

Just a mat, a phone, and a few makeshift obstacles from around the house.

Think: chairs, garden planters, buckets.

If you want professional equipment, I’ll help you get the best value options.

Absolutely! You can do the Agility Foundation Course online No matter which format you choose, you’ll get personalised support throughout.
