As people can now pay for clones of pets, no doubt it will happen with humans one day too - be careful what you wish for :smt043

Hi Hali . Sorry I've just caught up with your post. My back is still bothering me a lot so I don't get on the computer as much as I would like to. I can seriously reccommend Darcregan Dog Training Club . That's where I first took Missy and found out how much she loves agility. They do an 8 week beginners , introductory course in agility. The classes are held just outside Gorebridge on a Sunday morning at 10am. Everyone is very friendly , and you are taught the very basics about introducing your dog to agility equipment. They do not allow harsh handling and encourage the use of food and/or toys as reward. I'm sure I payed £65 for this course and it was worth every penny. The other club I went to was Broxburn Dog Training Club. Again , very friendly , reward based training and no harsh treatment. That's a bit further away at Oatridge College , in the Scottish Equestrian Centre. A 10 week course with them costs £44.Their classes are held on a Tuesday evening at 6pm . PM me for more details if you like. At home , I have plastic posts , the type used for horses electric fencing , which I can use to train weaves or fit an adapted cup to use as jumps. It was the trainer at Darcregan that told me about those . It helped Missy to learn the weaves a step at a time , starting with 2 posts to teach the entry , then adding a post at a time as she got more confident. By the time we got to Broxburn DTC , they were impressed at how good she was at the weaves , and They all compete with their dogs ! I don't have a tunnel though but I managed to aquire ( ) two lengths of thick plywood when the council fitted our new kitchen. I plan to make those into mini versions of a see saw and a dog walk. I only have a tiny garden so can't really set up much in the way of equipment. If I could find a bit of ground somewhere , I would buy my own agility equipment. ( Which anyone on Dogsey who lives near enough would be welcome to use).

Missymum you're a star - Gorebridge sounds really good - much nearer than I thought & Sunday mornings would be perfect. I found their website and have emailed to find out whether they have available spaces.

thanks again
