I've looked in the phone book and did a Google search, but can't find anything in my area. I can find some places in Atlanta, GA, but that is quite a drive for me.

Does anyone have a list or a link to training places for Agility?

debjen

You can go to cleanrun.com and find some listings. Also go to local agility trials and ask people where they train

Do you have a local kennel club? Our kennel club currently does not offer agility classes/training (we do have basic obedience and rally obedience) but we know of an agility club in a nearby town in ND. Maybe your local kennel club can direct you?

Thanks for the link! I'm checking out cleanrun.com right now.

I checked the AKC site and didn't find a club near me, but there are so many search options I'm sure I missed something. I'll look there again. Thanks!

Thanks, debjen! Someone told me on the Agility List that Quossum gave me that Webb Anderson (the first link you gave me) is amazing! It will be about a 1.5 to 2 hour drive for me to get there, but I would like to do that at least a few times. The rest of those are even further away, but thanks for the attempt.

I found another one closer to me, so I hope that it is a good one.

The instructors are Vickey Russell and Brandee Brunot.

Went to my second agility trial this past weekend and had a blast! Talked to so many different folks and started learning about agility. They were happy to tell me where they trained and invited me to come watch them train some Saturday. If you go to the AKC site, you can go to Events and select agility and the state/states you are interested in and it will give you agility shows in the future. The competitors were great--many knew one another, commiserated with one another about their miscues and celebrated with each other the victories. If a relaxed atmosphere at a dog show is possible, this would seem to be the place. Not that they were not serious about the competition, they were. They just were pleasant and joking with one another. I really liked it. And most dogs seemed to be having the times of their lives. I took some video and some stills and hope to get around to posting some of them soon.

I love the thought of that type of "family" atmosphere! I think Glory will love agility or fly-ball, and so would I! (If I can keep up!)
