Frequently Asked Questions
Does my dog need any experience to take part?
No. Parkour is suitable for dogs of all levels – including complete beginners. We start right at the basics and build up from there.
Do I need any special equipment to take part?
Nope. That’s the great thing about Dog Parkour. All you need is your dog, a well-fitting harness, and a long line.
My dog is nervous/reactive around other dogs and/or people. Can we still take part?
Dogs are worked at a distance from each other so I gladly welcome dogs that may be a bit anxious / uncomfortable around people or other dogs. That being said, a group environment may not be suitable for dogs with severe anxiety / reactivity
Please give me as many details as possible when you book on and I will do everything I can to help your dog feel comfortable during the workshop. Or if you’d prefer to have a chat with me beforehand, drop me a message and I’d be happy to talk things through with you.
Please do make sure that you use any safety equipment (e.g. a muzzle, lead waist belt, etc.) and a yellow lead / signage where relevant so that I can make sure everyone in the workshop stays safe and comfortable.
My dog is old / has a disability. Can we still take part?
What's the minimum age for taking part?
Dogs of any age are welcome, as long as they’ve had their vaccinations.
As dogs are worked individually, I can adjust the exercises to cater for your dog’s needs. For dogs under 6 months old, we will work mainly at ground level and focus on foundation games that will build on your teamwork and your dog’s listening skills without placing too much strain on their joints.
