You don't need to be super fit or have any previous skills....just a love of having fun with your dog!

We introduce you and your dog to a range of skills from a variety of dog sports including Parkour, Rally, Hoopers and obviously agility style activities too (jumps, weaves, tunnels). Great for confidence and relationship building.
We don't take things too seriously, it's all about the fun and mental stimulation 😃🐾

Look at that happy, relaxed face! Why is Vinnie so happy? Because he totally smashed his out and about session in some challenging situations with absolutely no reactions! 🥳🥳🥳

This week's Agility Ninjas were absolute superstars! 🌟 You wouldn't know that 2 of these dogs are anxious and reactive 🥰
Setting the foundation for weave poles and jumps, as well as some impulse control and focus work. Here's just a snapshot of some of the things they got up to 🤩

Please welcome the gorgeous, gentle giant Hugo to the P4T family!!! As many of you know, I LOVE a big dog and I'm already totally in love with this handsome boy 😍

GSD x Mastiff x Collie provides an interesting mix of personalities and behaviours 🤪 but we are VERY excited to have Hugo and his Dad on board our reactivity programme. He totally smashed his assessment session today and I can't wait to see where he takes us next 🥳🙌🏻

AGILITY NINJAS

The next round of Agility Ninjas classes will be starting on Saturday 9th May, 10:15am at our Darley Abbey Training field DE22 1EB. Sessions last around 45 minutes.

🐾 This is a fun, non-competitive class that provides your dog with both physical and mental stimulation, helps to build confidence and focus, as well as strengthening the relationship between you and your dog.

🐾 Classes are taught in 4 week blocks, with the option to continue once the 4 weeks are completed if you wish. We will teach a number of skills including jumps, through, send around and on, and transfer these skills to various obstacle courses. We teach a mixture of agility style activities with a bit of rally obedience thrown in for those who just want to have fun with their dog. We do not teach competition agility.

NB this course is not suitable for puppies, or dogs who have not had any basic training.

4 week Agility Ninjas course
£60 for the block
PLACES ARE LIMITED

People are often surprised by how friendly and relaxed our groups sessions are....we'd be surprised if they weren't! Owning an anxious or reactive dog can be stressful enough as it is; training should be fun!!! 😃

Congratulations to Ted on completing his 1 to 1 intensive recall programme 🥳🌟 Ted and his family have been an absolute pleasure to work with!

Ted is a real sweetheart who has come on leaps and bounds. From completely ignoring everyone and wanting to bolt off in his first session 🏃‍♂️💨, to today instantly recalling away from a big group of Canada Geese and from an interaction with 2 other dogs 🪿🐶😱

I am beyond proud of this handsome boy! 🥰 🥹
I am going to miss him lots, but I'm excited to receive future updates as he ventures out with his new found freedom 🤗
