PUPPY SESSION
π A little introduction to agility, at your puppy’s pace!
Got a puppy who’s curious about the world and ready to try something new? πΆ
Our Puppy Session at The Big Stour Dash is designed to be a gentle, low-key introduction to agility equipment, giving young dogs the chance to explore, sniff and build confidence in a relaxed and supportive environment.
We know that puppies are still growing, and their joints, bones and bodies are very much a work in progress! πΎ That’s why this session isn’t about speed, jumping high or tackling challenging obstacles. It’s about positive experiences, gentle exploration and setting our young dogs up for success.
β¨ What to expect:
πΎ A calm, on-lead introduction to the agility course
πΎ Time to explore the equipment at their own pace
πΎ Gentle guidance, encouragement and helpful advice
πΎ No pressure, no competition and absolutely no need to be the next agility champion!
Every puppy is different, and we’ll always put their comfort, confidence and wellbeing first. There’s no expectation to complete every obstacle – sometimes having a good sniff is achievement enough!
π΅οΈ Every puppy taking part will receive a beautiful rosette, because having a go deserves celebrating!
β Complimentary tea and coffee for humans, and fresh water for our four-legged participants.
β€οΈ All in aid of Stour Valley Dog Rescue, helping us raise funds for dogs waiting for their forever homes.
π Held at Fieldtastic, Chilmark
π Puppy Session: 9:30am
ποΈ Limited spaces available, so booking is essential.
Come along, have some fun and let your puppy discover that agility can be about confidence, connection and enjoying time together – not just jumping over things!
Because growing up is hard enough without being expected to win Crufts before breakfast! ππΎ

How do I introduce my dog to a play date session?
Dogs rushing up to newcomers can be quite intimidating for new dogs so try to communicate with other dog owners when you’re inside Fieldtastic.
Ensure that you keep your dog away from the entrance until the session is in full swing. We encourage owners to enjoy the space down the far end of the field while dogs and owners arrive.
Please be aware that not all dogs will want to play with each other, so please don’t encourage or force them to.
The dogs will make their own decisions about who they want to play with and there’s plenty of room and opportunity for solo play with their owners instead.
We will monitor all the dogs' behaviour with each other - if we think a dog is struggling with the group environment, we will flag these to the owners.
If for any reason we believe that the play session isn't the right group for your dog, we will explain why and advice the right play session for your dog.
Please don't be offended if this happens, all dogs are different and sometimes dogs react in a way that is unexpected in a group session.
You are responsible for your own dogs at all times please.
Let the FUN BEGIN πΎπΎ
