Covid has meant a change of circumstance for many
people and their dogs.
You can now add potential agility dogs direct, using
the
on-line form. This is a free
service for rescue organisations and private individuals!
 It's
not be practical to list ALL the schedules
available here for space reasons so we've opted for those that we've
received in the last two weeks. The shows in red are closing this
week so hurry if you want to enter. Schedules can be downloaded
direct from the
Show Diary page.

WHAT'S NEW...
 Why
Is Your Dog Drinking So Much?
Like all mammals, dogs need to drink water in sufficient amounts to keep their
bodies functioning normally.
Severe dehydration can even result in death.
It's not just a summer problem. This informative article from
Your
Dog Advisor© will tell you what to look out for.

We've renamed this page to better reflect it's purpose.
It's not only there for people hoping to start agility but also for you if you
move house, for instance, or want to do some 1-2-1 training etc. Please let us know if
all your club's details are up to date. New groups always welcome.
 Agility
Together
Lockdowns and restrictions can make
you feel quite isolated, unable to see family or friends and, of course, missing
training and shows. Agility Together is a temporary FB group, aimed at
supporting agility people during these difficult times with some friendly chat
and a range of free informative talks and activities, given by agility folk for
agility folk.
