Try It Agility
A paws-on holiday play space where pets and their families try weave poles, tunnels and a soft ball pit together. It's all about enrichment, confidence and the simple joy of learning something new side by side.
What to try
Skills, Smiles & Holiday Spirit
Every station is designed for first-timers. No experience, no special gear and no perfection required — just show up with your pet and a sense of adventure.
Weave Through the Poles
Guide your pet through a beginner-friendly set of weave poles. It's a great way to build focus, body awareness and confidence — and every attempt is celebrated.
Tunnel Dash
Let your dog discover the thrill of the tunnel. Short, soft and brightly coloured, our tunnels are sized for small and medium dogs ready to explore.
Pet Ball Pit Ring
A gentle, supervised ball pit where curious pets can climb in, sniff around and play at their own pace. Perfect for socialization and sensory fun.
Low Jump Intro
Try a single low, soft jump with your pet. No pressure, no competition — just encouragement, treats and plenty of praise.
Pets Are Here to Have Fun
Agility isn't just for competition dogs. Weave poles, tunnels and gentle jumps give every pet a chance to use their brain, move their body and bond with their favourite humans. The Try It Agility zone is a reminder that enrichment isn't a luxury — it's part of a happy, healthy life with the animals we love.

Simple Rules for a Safe, Happy Zone
A few friendly guidelines keep the Try It Agility area safe and stress-free for every pet and person.
- All pets must be on a lead or in a carrier until it's their turn.
- Well-fitted flat collar or harness only — no prong, choke or chain leads in the zone.
- One pet on each station at a time, with a handler close by.
- Pets showing stress, fear or reactivity will be given space and a break.
