Having fun with your dog is the best way to build a fantastic bond. The aim of Devon Dogs Agility and Fun Club is to give dogs an opportunity to do something a little bit different than just go for a walk, we want to add variety and fun which can be enjoyed by both owners and their dogs. Dogs (and owners!!) of all ages, sizes, abilities and types are welcome. Pups and young dogs should be discouraged from jumping as their joints must be protected, but there are still lots of other activities that they can do, especially where they are encouraged to use their brains. We encourage the use of positive reinforcement techniques including "lure and reward", clicker training and target work. Choke chains are not allowed .
In the SUMMER our club is held on Sunday daytime and Wednesday evenings at THE BIG SHEEP, Bideford. Our outdoor summer club has agility and flyball equipment that has been made for us by Alvah, a specialist manufacturer, and includes an "A" frame, a rigged tunnel, a flat tunnel, a variety of many types and sizes of adjustable jumps including a long jump, a see-saw, a walkway, 2 sets of weave poles , 4 x target "flyball" practice pads with flyball jumps etc.
