Client Success Story: Angela and Barney's Agility Journey

When Angela first started training Barney at another agility centre, things were going well. But over time, the instructors insisted Barney jump at his full height. Barney began avoiding the jumps, and each week, it became clear he wasn’t enjoying the sessions anymore.

Angela didn’t want to give up on Barney, as she knew how much he’d previously enjoyed agility and the benefits it brought. They stopped training, but a couple of years later, Angela discovered Pinkfox Dog Training while looking for help with her other dog, Irvin.

At that time, Irvin was having behavioural issues and was later diagnosed with some health concerns. During their work with Irvin, Angela found out that we also offer agility training – but with a key difference: we don't require dogs to jump at the competitive height if it's not suitable for them.

Agility training brings so many benefits, from providing an outlet for energy to strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners. With that in mind, we adjusted Barney’s training to make it fun and comfortable for him again. The result? Barney absolutely loves agility now, and he's back to his speedy self! In fact, he's so fast that Angela has to up her own running pace just to keep up with him!

We're thrilled to see the progress Angela and Barney have made, and we're proud to provide tailored training that suits the needs of every dog.
