  • Physical Fitness
    Agility training involves a range of dynamic movements such as running, jumping, and climbing, providing a robust physical workout that helps maintain your dog’s fitness and health.

  • Mental Engagement
    This training challenges dogs to think critically and solve problems, keeping their minds sharp and engaged. This mental stimulation is crucial for preventing boredom and reducing behavioural issues.

  • Enhanced Bonding
    Participating in an agility course is a deeply rewarding experience that can strengthen the bond between you and your dog. It’s a shared activity that fosters mutual trust and understanding.

  • Boosted Confidence:
    As dogs advance through their agility training, they gain significant confidence, which can positively affect other areas of their lives, enhancing their overall demeanor.

  • Improved Social Skills
    The training environment provides numerous opportunities for dogs to interact with others, improving their social skills and helping to mitigate aggression or anxiety.

  • Opportunities for Competition
    For enthusiasts of competitive sports, agility training offers a platform to engage in trials and competitions. It’s a fun way to test skills and enjoy the camaraderie of other dog handlers.

  • Behavioural Improvements
    Agility training is particularly effective in addressing issues like hyperactivity, destructiveness, and anxiety. The structured activity helps dogs learn to focus their energy and attention, leading to better overall behaviour.

  • Skill Development
    Advanced agility training also hones specific canine skills, including speed, precision, and obedience. Over time, dogs learn to navigate courses with greater efficiency, showcasing an impressive level of skill and discipline that can be applied to all aspects of their behaviour and interactions.

Before training it was challenging to keep Juno’s habits organized and consistent. Through this program, Juno’s learnt essential basic skills that made out life easier and better. Juno was also able to build beneficial habits.

Arlene and Joanne were amazing with our hyper puppy. Took the time and attention we needed that was beyond just the basic training by giving so much advice in areas we were struggling with. Thank you for everything! Look forward to social obedience and agility training!

We adopted Freddy at 18 months. He was a gentle dog with people but not social with dogs (ie. barked during walks). He now walks with very little notice of other dogs. He also knew zero commands. Now he sits on command, stays in his place and drops objects with the OFF command.

Before training Oscar was a wild child. He is slightly calmer now, sits when told and will walk beside us on a walk as opposed to pulling us. He is also familiar with his place.

Pippa was hesitant to even walk on her leash prior to training. Arlene is patient and her training methods are excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Dog Stop. Pippa walks at heel, sits, stays and is learning the come command to return. Thank you Arlene!
