Hi guys,
since Jess loves running & jumping I was thinking to pick up agility classes.

I should say I am a bit surprised cause there aren't many possibility in London Surprised  and we don't have a car.

Any advise or further info would be very helpful Wink 

Thank you

Do you have a garden ?

Maybe get some equipment and set up your own course

Yes I did and the sad reply was there's just one centre close to Enfield ant at the moment they are not running beginners classes.

I was wondering if anyone had better news for me Crying or Very sad

Yes I've got different parks nearby.
So I will probably start like this and then I'll see if they will start to run beginners class again.
Thanks

Have you ever thought about setting up doing the classes yourself ?

Is there a hall or community centre nearby you could rent for a day, advertise locally first about what you want to do and give it a go ?

Hi Kathy! No I didn't cause I don't have the competence Smile
I already struggle enough with my little girle to obtain some basic obedience Laughing Laughing 
I think agility is a fantastic way to develop a good bond with your dog in a fun way.
But of course if I had the righr expertise I would do it immediately!

You should be a qualified instructor to hold classes.
