Training & Membership
New to agility or looking to continue training with your dog? Here’s how to get started at North London Dog Agility, from our beginner courses to regular weekly club sessions.
Beginners
We usually run one or two beginner courses during the year.
There’s normally a waiting list for our beginner courses, but we’d love to hear from you. Send us an enquiry through our Contact Page to find out more about getting started and joining the waiting list.
Your first step is a three-week pre-assessment, giving us time to get to know your dog, assess their temperament and check that they feel comfortable in the training environment.
After the pre-assessment, you and your dog move on to an eight-week introductory agility course. You’ll learn basic handling skills while your dog is introduced to the equipment.
If you and your dog enjoy agility, you can then decide to join the club and continue with regular weekly training.
Regular training sessions
Already enjoying agility with your dog and looking for a club to train with? We’d love to hear from you. Get in touch through our Contact Page to tell us about your agility experience and find out more about joining.
Timings
Beginner, intermediate and advanced classes run at the same time in separate sections of the training arena, led by our experienced instructors. Each training session lasts one hour.
The first training session runs from 7.30pm to 8.30pm. Everyone attending this session arrives at 7.00pm to help set up the courses together before training begins.
The second training session runs from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. Everyone attending this session stays for 15 minutes afterwards, until 9.45pm, to help pack away the equipment together.
Current costs
3-Week pre-assessment £45
8-Week introductory course £120
