Dog Parkour UK started around 8 years ago and is growing quickly into a fabulous activity for owners and their dogs. It provides new opportunities for you to have fun with your dog while building confidence and learning new skills. Dogs love to learn so find this activity mentally stimulating.
Dog Parkour is for any breed of dog, small or large. Doing this safely and properly improves your dog’s mobility, helps with spatial awareness, flexibility and joint health. Anxious dogs benefit hugely as this builds their self esteem therefore improving confidence. Dogs enjoy climbing, balancing, crawling and jumping as they navigate their way through the surrounding environment. One of the great aspects of dog parkour is that unlike many other dog activities, parkour does not require any specialised equipment. You can have fun with your dog using any safe obstacles which you find in the home, garden or out on walks. After the introductory course there is also the chance to work towards the Dog Parkour UK Titles (no obligation). Within each Parkour Level there are a few “Titles” to complete in different environments. And each level adds new things to learn, for example, balance, over, back-up, round, send to obstacle. There are also Easter,Summer, Christmas challenges etc. |
