Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy.  All dogs must be older than 14 months to attend the Agility classes. This is for the well being of your pet, to ensure that no harm is done to his/her growing joints.

Training sessions are held on Saturday mornings from 10am.  For all newcomers, please arrive 30mins before the start of the session.

Flyball is a dog sport in which teams of dogs race against each other from a start/finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the spring-loaded pad, then back to their handlers while carrying the ball. Flyball is run in teams of four dogs, as a relay.

Training sessions are held on Sundays at 9am. For all newcomers, please arrive 30mins before the start of the session.
