About South Durham Dog Agility Club

South Durham Dog Agility Club in Darlington offers membership-based agility training for dogs and their handlers in the north-east. Established in 1992 and registered with the Kennel Club, the club runs regular weekly sessions that cater to both beginners and more experienced handlers looking to develop their skills. The training takes place on a private field with a full range of agility equipment, including jumps, tunnels, and handling courses. Foundation courses run over eight weeks and introduce handlers and dogs to the fundamentals of agility work, while more advanced sessions build on those skills. The club focuses on positive, reward-based methods and keeps class sizes manageable, with a maximum of four dogs per trainer during foundation classes. This approach allows for individual attention and helps nervous or easily distracted dogs settle into the environment.

Sessions are typically one to two hours, giving dogs plenty of time to explore the equipment and develop confidence off-lead in a controlled setting. The club suits dogs at various stages of agility training, from complete beginners working through recall and obstacle confidence to those competing or working at more advanced levels.
