Small group dog agility workshops designed to improve confidence, behaviour, and performance for both dog and handler.
These workshops combine practical agility training with a deeper understanding of what is really influencing your performance. Because success in agility is not just about what your dog can do, it is about how the whole partnership works together under pressure.
A Different Approach to Agility Workshops
These are not standard “run a course” training days.
Each workshop blends:
- Guided discussion and practical insight
- Real-life application with your dog
- Space to reflect, understand, and adjust
You will not just be told what to do. You will understand why things are happening and how to adapt them in a way that works for you and your dog.
What to Expect
Workshops are designed to give you both understanding and application in a supportive, relaxed environment.
You will:
- Explore how behaviour, emotions, and decision-making affect performance
- Gain clarity on patterns within your own handling and your dog’s responses
- Learn practical strategies you can take away and use in your own training
- Have the opportunity to apply what you have learned in a supportive environment
- Have space to pause, reflect, and ask questions throughout
These workshops are designed to feel calm and accessible, even within a group setting.
You can expect:
- A Relaxed and supportive atmosphere
- Small group sizes with individual attention
- Space to take breaks when needed
- Flexibility within the session to suit different handlers and dogs
- An environment that supports a range of learning and processing styles
There is a balance between discussion and practical work, so you leave with both insight and real-world experience.
Workshop Topics
Workshops run on a variety of topics across agility performance, behaviour, and handler development.
Examples include:
- Building Confidence in Both Dog and Handler
- Supporting Anxious or Sensitive Dogs in Agility
- Understanding Behaviour Under Pressure
- Handler Mindset and Decision-Making in the Ring
- Creating Stronger Connection and Communication
- Neurodivergent-Friendly Approaches to Agility Training
- Competition Strategies for Success
- Performing Under Pressure with Flexibility and Confidence
Topics will vary throughout the year depending on demand.
Small, Supportive Groups
Workshops are intentionally kept small, typically a maximum of four working spaces.
This allows for:
- Individual attention
- A calm and supportive environment
- Space to explore your own challenges in more depth
Location
Workshops are held in Derbyshire, combining an all-weather arena with an indoor space for the discussion-based elements.
