The clinic was held by Kathy Leadon of Leaps and Bounds Dog Training.
The day featured a special guest appearance from Red Dog Agility operator and national dog coach Maria Thiry from Queensland.
Dogs and their owners were participated in a number of exercises and topics including canine foundations, conditioning, jump skills and advanced course analysis.
Ms Thiry demonstrated that each dog and their owner were a team.
This meant that owners not only had to focus on physical prowess, but also on the dog's state of mind.
Ms Seadon said that jumping may seem like an easy skill, but for a dog to jump there are so many elements to consider.
She said these included stride, collection, the dog's ability to bend their body and much more.
