# Paws In Flight Dog Agility Club
Paws In Flight is a specialist dog agility training club based in Harrogate, offering small-group classes for dogs of all abilities. Led by experienced trainers Karen Cowling and Alice Brownridge, who collectively bring over 20 years of competitive agility experience, the club focuses on building confidence and strengthening the bond between handlers and their dogs through positive, reward-based training methods.
The club serves dog owners in the Leeds and Harrogate area who want to introduce their pets to agility training, improve their skills, or prepare for competition. They cater to complete beginners through to experienced competitors, recognising that every dog learns at its own pace in a supportive environment.
What sets Paws In Flight apart is their commitment to small-group training, with only 4–6 dogs per class, ensuring personalised attention rather than being lost in larger groups. They invest in top-quality Galican agility equipment and provide flexible training options—outdoor sessions on grass (weather permitting) or indoors on their dedicated sand and fibre surface. Thursday evening classes offer accessible timing for working dog owners.
Their philosophy prioritises fun and safety alongside skill development, making agility accessible rather than intimidating. The trainers' competitive background means they understand both recreational and competitive goals, whilst their positive approach ensures dogs remain engaged and enthusiastic about training. This combination of professional expertise, small group sizes, and genuinely supportive coaching creates a distinctive offering in the agility training market.
