🌧️ Don’t let the weather get in the way of your training this week!

The North West is looking at a pretty changeable week, with showers and rain making an appearance. So why not take your training indoors and make the most of the arena? ☔️

This week’s courses are inspired by part of the layout from the International Qualifier at Dog Sports.

💙💛 Blue & yellow nested courses - Yellow higher grades, Blue Novice grades
Available Tuesday 8th – Saturday 12th September

🩶 Grey course - Lower Grades
Available Sunday 13th & Monday 14th September morning

Plenty of opportunities to work on handling, lines, distance and all those little details — without having to worry about whether the weather will play ball!

✨ Freshly harrowed and looking far too pretty to disturb… ✨

There’s something ridiculously satisfying about a freshly harrowed arena 😍 Those lines 👌

Of course, it’s there to be ruined by paws 🐾💨

We’ve still got arena hire available this week, so come and make a mess of it!

🌧️ Rainy week? We’ve got you covered! 🌧️

Our new arena layout will be up from 1st–7th September, and with plenty of showers in the forecast, it’s a pretty good week to swap soggy outdoor training for a nice dry arena! 🤣☔️

This week’s layout is inspired by Nicole Turner and Seppo Savikko, with a section from each judge nested into our more complex BLUE 🔵 course. Plenty of interesting lines, handling choices and challenges to get stuck into!

🟡 Novice course — Yellow numbers
A fun course designed to test those sending skills and build confidence working away from your dog.

🔵 Advanced course — Blue numbers
More complexity, more handling choices and some great sections inspired by Nicole and Seppo.

And the best bit? The weather doesn’t get a vote. 🙌

Our indoor sand & fibre surface means you can get your training done without worrying about soaked grass, slippery ground or whether the next shower is about to arrive.

We have arena hire available throughout the week, so grab yourself a slot, bring your training plan (or just use ours!) and enjoy an hour of productive, dry training. 🐾

📅 Layout up Tuesday 1st – Monday 7th September

See you in the dry! ☔️➡️🏠🐕

When one of you is retired….. and managed to damage yourself without actually leaving the house…….

The other has been running agility on some of the trickiest courses you have seen for the last week and is happy as Larry 😅🫣😝

Thanks Grace & Favour Clinical Canine Massage Therapy for looking after the sporting dogs and listening to Zests complaints about being fixed up from whatever creative activity she got up to at home 🫣
