The Path from Puppy to Agility Champion

Many dog owners wonder how their puppies can become adept at agility. Our puppy training school provides the perfect foundation for that vision. We have puppy obedience classes teaching essential commands that form the building blocks of agility work.

The amazing little canines who graduate from our dog and puppy training classes often transition smoothly into agility sports. The skills they learn in basic training; attention, focus, and responsiveness, serve them well when tackling the challenges of an agility course.

For those interested in competition, our specialised dog agility competition preparation helps teams refine their performance to competitive standards. Sydney dog owners particularly appreciate our dog agility training Sydney location with its professional-grade equipment and experienced instructors.

Some dogs naturally excel at agile dog training, while others need more time to build confidence. Our trainers recognise these differences and create personalised strategies for each canine student.

Common Questions About Agility Training

Does weather affect training sessions?

If training must be cancelled due to safety concerns, you'll receive notification at least 2 hours before class starts. Make-up sessions are scheduled following the term's end.

What equipment should I bring?

Please bring your dog on a standard lead, training treats, water for your dog and comfortable running shoes for yourself.

Are there age requirements for dogs?

We typically recommend dogs be at least 12 months old for full agility training to protect growing joints. However, younger dogs can begin with modified exercises in preparation for future agility work.

My dog hasn't mastered basic commands; can we still participate?

Though some basic obedience training is helpful, our puppy school classes can incorporate fundamental command training alongside introductory agility exercises. Our program accommodates various starting points, with trainers providing personalised guidance throughout.
