This ^^^ amazing doggy seems to be able to turn his 'paw' to anything!!!

My Dad joked a while ago ... "Just the type for all that jumping malarky that one"

Well, me being me ... set up a few jumps, electirc fencing posts to 'weave' etc and he seems to love it!!! Goes mad for it in fact!!!

So, Agility ... where do i start? Really want to get into it with Jake! Obviously after the season now, so next year, March time?

Anyone involved with Agility in Cornwall? Who do i contact for advice/info? I'm near Newquay but i'm prepared to travel :)

:D:D:D:D:D
 
Ive started doing agility training classes with Darcy, we have had 3 so far and she loves it and is really good at it.

I have got big flower pots up turned on my lawn and lots of fencing posts, go to training classes before you start buying stuff because you might hear of second hand stuff for sale.

LOL :D I've got upside down buckets, planks of wood and a couple ol' jump wings to mess around with atm :)

Going to keep playing around with as many objects as i can :)

Seems to command 'Get over' and a point in the right direction and he will do anything!!! Bless him :)
 
Forgot to add I go with a friend and her working Springer, he also is very good but has just had a op after he ate the filling of his bed:eek:



He wont be going for a week or two.:eek:
 
I do agility with my GSP. My trainer loves him and she's a traditional collie person and is pushing me to get him out competing :)
 
Well at the classes we go to there is a Labradoodle,Rottie,JRs & lots of mutts, its good to see other dogs rather than just collies. Nothing against Collies but it makes a change to see other dogs, my trainer competes his Dobe very successfully and gave us a demonstration amazing.:)
 
My friend has a Gundog Spaniel and he went Grade 6 this year at Agility (the highest grade is 7) so spaniels can definitely multi-task!
I am in Cornwall so if you get stuck for finding somewhere to train let me know and I will find out who is down Newquay way for you :-)
