Flexigility and Tricks training

With Flexigility we are offering the dog the opportunity to interact with a variety of different obstacles. This helps  to improve their confidence and balance.

​

The obstacles include things they must step up on, walk along, go under, get in and things that make a noise or feel different etc. This includes boxes, ladders, planks, wobbly cushions, pivot blocks, balance pods etc.

​

​When you teach your dogs tricks you give them confidence to try things out and this can be a great motivator for dogs and handlers to try more complex skills. Trick training can be done anywhere and at any time. You can spend a few minutes a day or longer. You can work with props or just use your body to train a trick, like weaving between your legs.

​

We incorporate trick  training into our programme and run occasional assessments to enable members to show off where they are at.

​

Flexigility and Trick training provide great foundations for agility, NZARO RallyO, and also other dog sports.
