PRACTICE INFORMATION

Make sure you are comfortable when practicing, we recommend shoes with a suitable grip as you may be running around.

During wet weather, practicing will still take place so come prepared with wet weather gear. 

Also clothes with pockets for the all important treats!

Please bring your own treats to reward your dog. They should be small and very tasty!

Popular choices are cooked sausage, cubed cheese, cooked liver and cubed corned beef.

It is recommended that clip on leads leads are used and not slip leads.

Some prefer to use a toy as a reward for a task instead of food based treats. This is fine, but try to keep this toy apart from others at other times so it is especially for agility.

All dogs need to be 12-14 months old before being allowed to go over any jumps (depending on breed).  However, if your dog is slightly younger than this come along as there are activities such as the tunnel and obedience based guidance which you can take part in which will prepare you and your dog for the more physically demanding equipment at a later date.

Please make sure your dog is wearing a properly fitting collar and lead.

Please don’t forget to praise/reward your dog for carrying out your commands.

It is important to ensure your dog is in good health before training.  Vaccination Certificates must be seen before you join the club.

It is equally important to check your dog regularly for any injuries.  Checks with Doctor/Vet before participating in any physical activity is recommended.
