Welcome to Dorset Dog Parkour!
Dog parkour is the ultimate team-building activity for you and your dog! Combining action-packed games and physical challenges with creative puzzles and mental exercises, dog parkour is a new exciting and unique way to engage your dog’s mind and body.
As you tackle fun parkour challenges together, your dog’s focus and attentiveness will improve and strengthen your bond. This teamwork will naturally translate to everyday situations like recall and loose-lead walking, making these skills much easier and more enjoyable for both of you.
Here’s how dog parkour will benefit you and your dog:
Physical exercise and conditioning
From climbing to jumping and balancing on different surfaces, parkour keeps your dog in great shape, engaging muscles they don’t usually use on walks. Each challenge promotes flexibility, body awareness and co-ordination, reducing the risk of your dog picking up an injury in day-to-day life.
Mental stimulation
Navigating obstacles and working as a team makes your dog think critically, solve problems and builds impulse control. Each time they go over, under, around, or between obstacles, they’re mentally stimulated and fully engaged, sharpening their listening skills and responsiveness to you.
Builds confidence
Dog parkour is all about your dog navigating and interacting with the environment, as everyday objects are transformed into exciting challenges that boost their confidence and build resilience. For nervous or anxious dogs this is a fantastic opportunity to help them become more optimistic, resilient and self-assured.
Better communication and teamwork
Dog parkour is all about working together. As you guide your dog through fun games and challenges, you’ll both learn to communicate and listen to each other, strengthening your bond with trust and understanding. The result will be a deeper, stronger connection between you, making you an incredible team!
And the best part…?
You can take your parkour skills anywhere, making every walk a new adventure. From parks to town centres, the world becomes an exciting playground where you can take the core skills you have learned to make your usual walk in the woods an epic adventure or a quick ‘round the block’ an exciting game.
Plus, the skills your dog picks up will look seriously impressive – get ready to turn heads on your next walk!
Who is dog parkour for?
Dog parkour is low impact and can be tailored to suit dogs of all ages, breeds and fitness levels. It’s the perfect activity for:
Building a strong bond between you and your dog
Nothing builds trust like learning together, and that means a dog who’s more resilient, relaxed and focused on you.
Your dog is a valued member of your family, and building a strong bond with them is essential. A deeper connection means more trust, making your dog more resilient to stress, anxiety, and even trauma. Guiding your dog through parkour challenges strengthens this bond by improving your communication and teamwork. The real-world benefits? A super-reliable recall, an ability to ignore distractions like squirrels and rabbits on walks, and a focused, attentive companion who sees you as both fun and dependable.
Energetic and over-aroused dogs
Does your dog have boundless energy or get over-excited at the smallest things? You’re not alone – and dog parkour can help.
Through structured, engaging activities, you’ll teach your dog to focus, manage their emotions, and stay calmer, even in exciting situations. If they do get over-excited, they’ll also learn to recover more quickly. Plus, you’ll pick up exercises and games to keep you both mentally and physically engaged in everyday life.
Nervous or anxious dogs
Does your dog feel nervous in new or unfamiliar places? Or find certain situations a bit intimidating? Do you ever wish you could just reach out and say to them ‘Hey, it’s ok – you’ve got this!’? Parkour can give them the ultimate confidence boost.
Through fun, confidence-building exercises, your dog will become more optimistic and self-assured. They’ll gain the skills to navigate their environment with enthusiasm and the resilience to handle any scary moments that come their way.
Are you ready to build an unbreakable bond, boost your dog’s confidence, and channel their energy? Join us for dog parkour and watch your dog’s focus, recall, and resilience soar! Book your spot today and turn every walk into an adventure!
