Fun Agility & Hoopers

Lucy's Lionhearts prides itself on being INCLUSIVE, NOT EXCLUSIVE.


Please be sure to make me aware of any special needs/health issues your dog has so I can accommodate their requirements to make it a comfortable and fun experience for them.


Please don't hesitate to contact Kat if you'd like to discuss class suitability for your dog. There are options for everyone!


Full payment is required to secure your place. Two weeks notice is required to cancel or change your course date. Refunds and 'roll overs' are at the instructors discretion.

Agility Courses


The 5-week outdoor Puppy Agility Foundations course is for ages 20 weeks- 9 months and runs from April-October. The course holds up to 6 dogs plus handlers. The course is broken down each week into 'bite-sized' pieces so that your puppy can learn at their own pace and allow their confidence to grow. Please note that the puppy class is non impact.

Families & young handlers welcome. Sunday's only.


The 5-week outdoor Agility Beginners & Intermediates courses are suitable for dogs over the age of 9 months old (following a vet check) and runs from April-October. The class environment requires dogs enrolled to be comfortable in the company of other dogs and people. The classes can be fast paced & noisy! Each Beginners class holds up to 6 dogs plus handlers, 8 dogs plus handlers in Intermediate/Advanced. The classes involve our very own (very fun!) 'Hunger Games' and the course changes weekly.

Families & young handlers welcome. Sunday's only.


NEW FOR 2025!

Hooper's is an Agility style sport that is non/low impact and consists of navigating your dog through a course of hoops, tunnels, around barrels and over contact mats. This outdoor course is 5-weeks long and is suitable for dogs from 6 months old. Classes run from April-October.


Agility & Hooper's take place in an outdoor secure field at Hayter's, Holt, BH21 7EB. Please be aware that Agility does NOT take place in the first field on the left (the dog walking field) when entering Hayter's-please read booking instructions carefully in confirmation email. Poochadise Canine Services has a banner on the field gate. If you don't see a banner, you're at the wrong field!


During November-March, indoor classes are available. Please enquire for schedule and availability.

This is a great option for those who wish to trial an Agility/Hooper sessions before committing to a full course, have a reactive/nervous dog who needs space, have an elderly dog/puppy/dog with special needs who requires a bit more time and understanding or are in rehab following surgery and require something mentally enriching., have multiple family dogs who you want to do a private session with or maybe you want to throw a doggy birthday party!

These are just some examples-the list is endless!

Payment is required at the time of booking. Failure to do so may result in your booking being cancelled.

A 48 hour cancellation policy is in place for this option. If notice of less than 48 hours is given, there will be no option of a refund or 'roll over'.


Disclaimer: Although every care is taken to assess the field for suitability prior to sessions being held, the ground can become slippy underfoot following heavy rain. The field is located on a farm and is open to the elements. It is important that clients wear suitable footwear and follow the trainers instructions. In certain weather, some items of contact equipment may be removed from the course if they are deemed unsafe to be used during sessions. The equipment is safety checked prior to every session.

Poochadise Agility still operates in the rain (there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!).

Sessions are only cancelled in adverse weather conditions such as thunder, lightening, field flooding, high temperatures and snow! If you have a fair weather pooch, I suggest not booking any sessions during April or October as the ground can also be muddy.

Lucy's Story:


So, who is Lucy and why is the Agility club named 'Lucy's Lionhearts'?

In September 2020, I took on a new challenge. A 13-month old American Staffie named Lucy. Lucy was sadly hit by a car when she was three months old in Italy where she was born. She received no vet care and was abandoned. As a result, Lucy needed a wheelchair to give her some mobility. In November 2020, we saw a specialist who explained that 3 vertebrae in the thoracic part of Lucy's spine had fused together blocking off any signal going down to her back legs causing permanent paralysis. After processing the consultants diagnosis, I vowed that I would do everything I could to ensure her life was as 'normal' as it could be. I didn't wrap Lucy in cotton wool and in all honesty, she didn't want me to! She had so much zest for life and lived each day as if it was her last-she even went paddle boarding! One of the things that Lucy loved to do was to run around the Agility field with me. The course could easily be adapted for her with a bit of tweaking.

Sadly, my beautiful Lucy passed away on the 17th September 2021 just one month after her 2nd birthday from kidney failure.


Despite my best friend no longer being by my side, her memory will be honoured.

Lucy's Lionhearts is her legacy.


I believe that every dog can have its day if they are given the chance.


This is for you, my girl. Forever in my heart.
