AGILITY & FLYBALL: Agility for fun. Dogs must be over 12 months of age, 15 months for larger breeds, have a reasonable level of basic obedience and be able to mix freely with other dogs in close proximity with high excitement levels before joining this group. From complete beginner to the experienced, from Dachshund to Great Dane all are welcome. NB As the equipment is used by one dog at a time numbers in this class are limited, we may on occasions have a waiting list in operation. The first class is the starting point with the emphasis on introducing the dogss to the various pieces of equipment and on teaching the dogs to work the equipment, laying good foundations and building up confidence, knowledge, speed and accuracy. The second class is for dogs who are conversant with all the equipment and are completing courses off lead under full handler control working at distance and speed.
