Obedience/Agility Training

Hi, I've got a rescue dog (German spitz cross) and the centre suggested that I try agility training as she is very hyper and needs a lot of exercise. I have been looking on line in the West London area, but the only ones I could find are in Hayes or Ruislip and can't be reached by tube (I don't own a car). If I can't find an agility centre I'm happy to start with basic obedience training first, which hopefully would help with the recall & cat/bird chasing problems. Anyone know of any centres that operate in the West London area? I'm based in Perivale, Middlesex but am happy to travel a reasonable distance by tube or bus in the evenings or on weekends.

Try the APDT website to see if any trainers hold obedience or agility classes maybe? http://www.apdt.co.uk
There's also the agilitynet website, might be worth a look

Have you had a look on here http://www.agilitynet.com/

You might need to look at general obedience classes first, as you obviously need control over the dog. We're just starting this, a 8 week general clicker class, a four week advanced training class, and then hopefully onto agility

There's an excellent one in Iver Bucks (on the Bus route from Uxbridge to Slough)

They do basic obedience classes too

Thank you everyone, I shall get on the websites and try to find something - if I can't locate anything closer I'll look at the Uxbridge one but it would take a looooong time to get to!
