I know that once Molly, my shepherd mix, is throughly trained I'd like to get her into agility. I don't know if there is a class around here. I'll have to look.
Have fun.

You dont need classes just time you can make your own jumps I had to make mine out of chairs and bamboo from my yard for tramp the high jumping hyper dog and he loves it

[PVC pipe, do some web surfing and you can almost tell how the agility companies make theirs. I'm going to try it soon. Weave poles can be stakes jammed into the ground with PVC pipe over them at appropriate intervals. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I was recently searching the web for sites on agility. I found a great website which gives you instructions on how to make your own agility course. It's great! Although I've only made a jump so far, I started with the easy stuff. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

I glad for the suggestions. It will give me something to do, a hobby, if I make my own course.
Post any links - that would be helpful
