Agility in London
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 and we don't have a car.
Any advise or further info would be very helpful
Thank you

Re: Agility in London
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

Re: Agility in London
Do you have a park nearby where you could take some some equipment and try it out there ?

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

Re: Agility in London
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 ?

Re: Agility in London
Hi Kathy! No I didn't cause I don't have the competence
I already struggle enough with my little girle to obtain some basic obedience
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.
