Agility is a fantastic way to build a bond, keep you both fit and have lots of fun
Ocean Blue Agility Club is now a Kennel Club listed club, having been approved by the board. We will now be able to run Kennel Club shows as well as approved training.
I currently have some spaces in our Tuesday evening groups, for all levels, plus I am taking on private lessons during daytimes; weekdays and weekends available!
Services
Group Lessons
Group Lessons are currently taken on Tuesday evenings and Friday lunchtimes, from Beginners up to Level 3. Over winter they happen indoors at Quob Stables, Durley nr Botley, and are suitable for fit, healthy dogs from the age of 12 months.
From the end of March we will be moving outdoors with Tuesday evenings at Quob Stables and Thursday evenings in Stubbington, near Fareham. Dogs must have a good recall/focus on their handler.
Puppy Pre-Agility Workshops
For pups under 12 months we run pre-agility workshops monthly throughout the season (April – October). This is to minimise impact on joints and growth plates from repetitive motions. Sessions happen over poles, not jumps, and on low-level contact equipment, mainly focussing on drive and engagement. Check out the workshops page to find the next dates!
Competition Workshops
Competition workshops give you the chance to practice particular areas of competitive agility, such as stopped or running contacts, independence and drive, obstacle discrimination, and weaves. These are planned in, and the calendar will be going live soon.
Private Sessions
For those who would like to give agility a go without committing to group sessions, or those who want to progress in specific skills or prefer learning alone – I can take private sessions in the daytimes during the week, some weekends and some evenings. Please message or email to find out more.
Competition Team
Everyone who wants to start competing has the option to join our competition group for help and support at events, info about new events and to answer all your questions. We generally have members at most shows in the area, so can easily make sure you are looked after!
Club Field
The Club Agility field has a full set of Galican KC-regulation equipment, non slip tunnels and soft wall and long jump to train over. The field is in a secure grass arena at Quob Stables, with our own parking area away from the horses.
We also have use of the indoor arenas through the winter and in bad weather.
There are cafe and toilets on site, as well as nice local walks.
How We Train
Most of our early focus is on confidence, engagement and drive. We want the dogs to have fun, as we can re-direct enthusiasm to almost anything!
We also need the dogs to listen to us in an over-arousing environment, so our input is extremely important to the partnership.
