The Kennel Club quotes:- “Agility is open to all types and sizes of dog. It is a fun, exciting activity for dogs and owners to take part in. It involves your dog negotiating different obstacles through a set course.”

You can find lots of information on the Kennel Club’s website and also the Agility Club’s website.

The following quotation is taken from the Kennel Club Website.

“Preparing your dog to be able to compete successfully will take a little longer than the formal requirements. It is essential that your dog is fully socialised and that you have effective control at all times, especially as your dog will be competing off-lead. For safety's sake it is recommended that dogs do not start training on equipment until they are at least a year old.”

The Kennel Club is not the only organisation for agility, UK Agility also run agility with different rules and regulations.

BATS run beginners courses for dogs and handlers to learn dog agility, if you wish to be considered for one of these courses please see the New Members page for contact details.
