Canine Parkour

Would you like to learn something new with your dog? Improve their confidence and body awareness? Have some fun together?

Join us for Canine Parkour

Canine Parkour, sometimes known as urban agility, is an activity based on the same principles as human parkour. It is a challenging, but fun, physical activity in which the dogs learn to interact with their environment. We work on ways to conquer obstacles, such as climbing, balancing, and jumping, helping to build confidence in surroundings and improve body awareness. As well as providing mental exercise for your dog, it will keep them fit, healthy and transform your dog walks.

Parkour can be adapted for all-abilities and is suitable for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds.

The course is suitable for mixed abilities and will be tailored to ensure you are working at the level appropriate to your dog. Basic obedience is an advantage but not neccessary to enjoy the course.

You will learn:
  • 2 feet on
  • 4 feet on
  • Under
  • In
  • Through
A maximum of 6 dogs per class we ensure dogs and owners have space and time to progress.

Location
Our classes are held outside at our private training venue at Moat Farm in Stoke Mandeville.


Please Note, group courses are suitable for dogs who are comfortable in the presence of other dogs, if your dog is human or dog reactive a series of 121 training would be more suitable. Please contact us prior to booking if you are unsure if this course is suitable for you.

This 3 week course was excellent as a proper intro for Rocket to Parkour - secure field, lots of objects to deal with and Debbie was extremely clear on her instructions of what both myself and Rocket had to do & great at praising Rocket for a job well done.

Having a reactive dog to people I never dreamt I could take Tori to dog training but when I saw an advert for Potters Paws and the beginners Parkcour course I thought I would take a chance and if she couldn’t cope I would just bring her home but she absolutely loved the activities and learning new things her focus was on me and not ( much) on anyone else 😁everyone gave her space and she even said hello on her own to Debbie by the end of the course. We both enjoyed it so much that we came home and booked another course which we are looking forward to starting.

I heard about Debbie and her classes through Facebook as she lives locally. I really wanted to get my 6 year old Labrador Minnie to learn some new skills and be less obsessed with her ball. We first of all did Parkour, then the intro to Sniffer School and then some of the Houndschool classes and they were just fantastic! Obviously as it was during Covid the classes were virtual which I was a bit nervous about but really needn’t have been as Debbie is knowledgeable, calm and explains everything so well. The Parkour class really got Minnie to focus on different skills, using objects to put her paws on, balance as well as go under things. I learned new ways of coaching Minnie and we now look for objects out and about she can get up on... she looks so proud every time she does it! The sniffing class was also fantastic, Minnie really got so much out of it and she was so good at finding the kong....even without food in! It also really demonstrated to me that there are other ways to stimulate and tire Minnie out other than walks and ball throw! We wouldn’t have got half as much out of it without the patience, expertise and calm, pragmatic training from Debbie. Would highly highly recommend!

Thanks for a great beginners course in Parkour. It was good to practice all the different aspects of Parkour over the 3 weeks with the emphasis on making it positive and fun for the dogs while keeping them safe. We learned so much! Lovely to see Fynn growing in confidence and we are enjoying practicing this on our walks. Looking forward to more courses in the future. Thank you. Jane and Fynn
