About
Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Parc de Bercy for an urban agility and canine behavioral workshop. Held from 14:00 to 15:00 as part of the Fête de l'animal en ville, this free event invites you and your dog to improve your communication and motor skills together. Guided by professional canine behaviorist Kévin Kaupert, you will explore exercises designed to enhance your pet's concentration and agility. Whether in the romantic garden or the Yitzhak Rabin garden, this session is perfect for learning how to channel your dog's energy while strengthening your bond in a collaborative and supportive outdoor environment.
Through adapted exercises and games, this workshop invites you to share a moment with your dog while working on their motor skills, concentration, and communication within your pair.
On the agenda:
· Warm-up and proprioception: gentle motor exercises on various surfaces to work on balance, confidence, and the dog's concentration in the presence of external stimuli.
· Agility course: tunnels, bars, and cones to navigate according to each dog's morphology and level. You will also discover some guiding techniques to channel their impulsivity and accompany them safely.
· Scent work games to finish the workshop by engaging your companion's sense of smell.
Throughout the workshop, you will be guided by Kévin Kaupert (Oprah et les garçons), dog behavioral trainer.
