South West Dog Skills Centre
Our Specialist Coaching Centre - Designed For Your DogWhen designing our coaching centre we have put the dogs at the centre of all our decisions.
The physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of each dog that will come through the door has been considered and we aim to meet all of their individual needs. |

Equestrian Standard FlooringThere has been no expense spared when choosing the flooring for our centre, we are proud to have an equestrian standard flooring that provides excellent protection and support for all dogs and all levels of activity.

EquipmentAll of our equipment is of the highest standard. Our agility equipment includes aluminium contacts with a rubber coating to provide the best grip, we have extra large tunnels to accommodate large breeds and a breakaway tyre that prevents injury if a dog hits it.

PensFor activities where one dog works at a time (such as agility and scentwork), we have specially designed individual pens where owners and their dogs can wait.
These pens give dogs some down time before their next go. As the pens are individual and have wooden gates, dogs are not visually aroused by the high activity levels going on in the centre. |
