One of the most important parts of raising puppies is helping them grow into confident, resilient dogs. In our From Whelp to Woof! curriculum, we introduce our pups to safe, age-appropriate agility-style equipment outdoors. This isn’t about training them for sport, it’s about fun exploration, desensitisation, and learning to navigate different textures, surfaces, and challenges.
By playing on see-saws, ramps, tunnels, and wobble boards, our puppies are gently exposed to new experiences that build their problem-solving skills and boost confidence. These early lessons reduce fear of the unfamiliar later in life and help create dogs who are adaptable, curious, and secure in the world around them.
Responsible breeders know that socialisation starts long before puppies go home. By providing structured opportunities like this, we’re laying the groundwork for better-adjusted family companions who thrive in all kinds of environments.
We’re so proud to share this part of their journey with you, watch as our pups take on their very first agility adventures!
