Like I said I have no intention in competing :P
I might maybe ask the kennel manager at my Uni if we can use her equipment
Also, I do know how to train dogs. Half the course I'm studying is based around animal behaviour specifically that of dogs.

Well obviously we don't have a module 'how to teach your dog agility', it's not that specific
All I'm saying is that I know how dogs learn and I know all the various training methods (positive reinforcement being the best method I think and seeing as this is used to train agility dogs . . .)
I think I've been slightly misunderstood with my intentions.
I know you have now said you will go to classes, but previously you didnt say you were, you said you "probably" would.
Classes are good fun, and will teach you how to train different obstacles and then you will be able to buy your own and have a good foundation of which to continue training at home, if you wish.
Be warned though, agility is very addictive! I started with my first (who i have now) with the intention of having fun, i then caught the bug and have added 2 more...bought for agility! Im trying to resist the urge for number 4!!!

, when I say probably it basically means so long as I can find a class :PBut I will definitely get a professionals help if I can't find a class close enough. There's a girl on my course who seems to be very into agility so I may ask her
Also I think she actually lives near by so maybe she could recommend a class
Ha ha
I'm soon to catch the bug then :P

I plan on working her on the other equipment this year so she can compete in the other classes.
