Have you looked on the Agilitynet website? There is a section listing all the clubs with contacts.

I would echo what previous posters have said about waiting a bit with your pup and concentrate on getting him/her to focus on a toy, going away from you, waiting until released, directions, etc. I would be wary of letting him do the tunnel too often without you giving him the command to do so or he will become a 'tunnel monster' who will ignore the other equipment! I usually start with very small jumps and low contacts at about 9/10 months (depending on the individual dog) and leaving the weaves until last.

Good luck!

Toby used to be obsessed with the tunnel. We had to practice not going through it!

Thank you all.

Ive been on the agilitynet site and found this....http://www.tailwaggers.org.uk/index.html

its in the next county but still pretty close. Any opinions would be welcome from the experienced????

We were at training class today and she was positively bored with it. The trainer said to start bringing her to the advanced classes as the puppy one is too easy for her so i definately want her challenged in some way when she's older. Clever princess she is

small dogs, medium dogs and 18 mths for
large dogs.
