Turning Obstacles into Opportunities for Fun
Fun, exercise and quality time with your dog.
Want to have some fun, exercise and spend quality time with your dog? Our Fun Agility Training Program is an introductory 5 week class involves training your dog to navigate an obstacle course, which can include jumps, tunnels, contact equipment, and weave poles.
The 5-week class has a maximum of 5 dog participants and 2 people per dog, allowing for a small group setting with personalized instruction and attention. Agility Dog Training is a great way to build a stronger bond with your dog, improve their physical fitness, coordination, and obedience, and have fun at the same time. It is also a great way to prepare for our Advanced Agility Program! We recommend some obedience training, like our Basic Obedience class, prior to Fun Agility, however it is not required.
Our qualified and experienced trainer will guide and teach you and your dog how to safely navigate the obstacles and work as a team.
- 5 dog participants maximum. 2 people per dog maximum. All dogs must be at least 6 months old.

Physical exercise
Agility involves running, jumping, climbing and other movements that can provide dogs with a great workout, helping to keep them fit and healthy.Mental stimulation
Agility requires dogs to think and solve problems, which can help to keep their minds active and engaged, reducing the risk of boredom and associated behaviour problems.Bonding
A dog Agility Course can be a fun and rewarding activity for dogs and their owners to do together, helping to strengthen the bond between them.Confidence building
As dogs progress in their training, they can gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, which can translate to other areas of their lives.
Socialization
The Training Program provides dogs with the opportunity to interact with other dogs and people, helping to improve their social skills and reduce the risk of aggression or fearfulness.Competition
For those who enjoy it, an agility program can be a competitive activity, offering the chance to participate in trials and competitions with other dogs and their handlers.Behavioural benefits
Agility can also help to improve behaviour problems such as hyperactivity, destructiveness and anxiety, as they learn to channel their energy and focus their minds on the task at hand.

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!
