Since
2002, ADCSA has trained at Barratt Reserve, on West Beach Road at
the clubgrounds
of
the
German Shepherd Dog Club, situated approximately 500m. west of Tapleys Hill Road, on the southern side and well sign-posted. We train on Thursday evenings, March to November, with a Beginners' induction class for new members on the first Thursday evening of each month: if this introductory session has to be cancelled (see below) it's held the following week. Dogs must be 12 months old before beginning their Agility training, and a general Veterinary check is recommended to ensure that they are fit for this type of exercise. Some breeds, and all dogs that are markedly overweight, should not be expected to jump. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
While we doesn't ask any particular level of previous Obedience training, some basic Obedience is necessary for dogs to be able to work off-lead as soon as they're familiar with the equipment, and so make greater progress and have more fun in their training. If your dog isn't yet old enough to join our club, we recommend you join an Obedience club to give you that 'edge' when you're ready for Agility. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
