How to get started in agility
Where to go for training and what you need to do to take part in agility.  If you don't know where to start this page will help you to find training classes, shows and registering and measuring information.
 

So what do you do when you get to the show?  Everyone will give you advice on how to run your dog but what about the basics of how a class is run and what you have to do. This is the bit that everyone forgot to tell me, so here's a guide for the unitiated.

Special classes with lower jumps

If you have an older dog or a dog that isn't managing full height then these classes may be for you.
 

Grade 1 Classes (former elementary)

How difficult are the courses?  The rules have changed from 1st January 2007 but if you want to see some of the former elementary courses here's some video clips of jumping, agility and beat the clock. There's also a list of things they don't tell you about shows.
 

Grade 2 Classes (Former Starters)

Following the change of regulations on 1st January 2007 We don't know quite what to expect at grade 2.  This page has video clips and  information about the former Starters classes as grade 2 or grade 1 and 2 combined classes are expected to be very similar.

Good teamwork
Sometimes you can learn a lot from watching top class handlers.  The video clip on this page shows some exceptionally good handling and I think you'll find it memorable.
