Nearest dog agility club?
Once you have seen how exciting dog agility training is... you will, perhaps, be inspired to at least see if you and your pet could enjoy this fascinating sport.
With Crufts in the offing, and extra coverage each successive year, more and more people tune in the TV to watch agility, flyball, obedience, and all the other fascinating extra items. Interest is such that quite often we lose interest in 'the main event'... once our favorite breed has been eliminated... and our fascination is held by the 'extras' far more than 'the main event'!
Questions I often hear are "where is my nearest dog agility club?" or "where can I find out more about agility?" or even "would my dog be able to do agility?"
There are basically two options open to those who are looking for their nearest dog agility club...
1. Check around your local dog walkers and doggy friends and see if any of them have any useful information.
2. Check at your National Kennel Club. As was mentioned in a previous post, their websites are all arranged differently, but SOMEWHERE within each site you will find a list of clubs which are registered with them.
[If there is nothing suitably close to where you live... ask what further help they could give... demonstrations, etcetera... or they might help with the setting up of a new club.]
I am adding the list of National Kennel Clubs again here... for your convenience...
The Kennel Club, UK
The Kennel Club America
Australian Kennel Club
The Canadian Kennel Club
Irish Kennel Club
The Kennel Club Italy
Swedish Kennel Club
List of National Kennel Clubs... some of which are not included in the above links.
