WHAT WE DO
Simply put, we teach dog sports in a fun, relaxed and safe environment and we run a shop selling raw dog food, natural dog chews and treats and lots of enrichment products !
​
Our training area is fully fenced in so it's suitable for dogs without perfect recall. We teach on a one to one basis or in small groups so you and your dog can learn at your own pace without any outside pressures. It's fine to take regular breaks to keep your dog relaxed and interested.
​
We are suitable for both absolute beginners and already competing dogs and if you are a fully competent dog handler you can also hire our training area to train on your own.
​
Some of our clients go on to compete, some have absolutely no interest in competing and only want to do it for fun, both are equally welcome here at K9Fun.
​
Here's a little more info about the different sports we offer :
​
AGILITY
A test of skill and bond between handler and dog
Agility sees dog and handler tackle a course of obstacles in differing orders. These include jumps, seesaw, weaves, A Frame, tyre jump, Dog walk, tunnels and walls. In a competition handlers get to walk the course in advance but the dogs don't so communication is key!
FLYBALL
Ready, Set, Race!
Flyball in it's simplest form is a relay race for dogs. Teams of 4 dogs race against each other with the first team to get all 4 dogs over a course of 4 jumps, collect a tennis ball and come back winning. Racing is split up into divisions so it doesn't matter if your dog is fast or slow there's a place for them in flyball and every dog plays their part in this team event.
HOOPERS
For Everyone
Hoopers is a reasonably new dog sport. There are a few variations but the activity involves dogs going at their own pace through a series of large hoops, tunnels and around barrels. There is no jumping and no impact meaning this is a sport for puppies right through to elderly dogs. It's brilliant for building up distance handling allowing you to be further away from your dog while navigating the course. We really recommend this for everyone, it's highly addictive, easy to learn and just has so many benefits.
