Dog walking, pet sitting and quality Agility instruction
Woofits Agility
Agility is a fun, rewarding and addictive activity to undertake with your dog. It creates a unique bond and translates into an improved relationship in all aspects of your life with your best friend. We started agility in 2016 and have never looked back.
Woofits Agility hopes to inspire, motivate and coach you to the same levels of success and enjoyment that we have experienced through this amazing sport.
What we offer at Woofits Agility
New Starters
Lessons are in small groups, so your dog will be able to make rapid progress and your agility journey can get off to the best possible start. We bring our years of experience, knowledge and expertise to ensure that our classes are fun, rewarding and safe. Dogs should have a good standard of recall and be well socialised; these are group lessons and safety is the top priority.
​
Core skills needed to succeed will be taught: impulse control; start line waits; the ability to focus around other dogs; having fun with the handler; working for toy and treat rewards; body awareness; paw placement and balance skills. We put a big focus on drive and we aim to create highly motivated agility dogs that have all the skills needed to progress to competitions in the furture.
​
Lessons are 1 hour in length and take place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at Larches Farm, Thornbury. Following on from your New Starters group you will then be placed into a regular class to continue chasing your agility dreams.
If the weather allows then we train outdoors in our large grass arena and for the colder and wetter evenings we use the barn.
​
Our New Starters programme costs £50 for 4 weeks instruction.
* We are currently full. However, spaces are periodically announced via our Facebook and Instagram accounts *
Competition Agility
These groups are aimed at dog and handler partnerships who are either aiming for competitions or who are already competing.
​
In these classes you will be shown advanced handling techniques, course walking skills, practise scenarios that will crop up in the show arena as well as perfecting the parts of your dog's performance that will enable you to achieve your goals.
