Agility Fun Day May '08
Club News
Written by Rebecca Sliger   

Does your Portie fly through the air with the greatest of ease?  Have you thought about channeling some of that enthusiasm into a exciting dog sport?

It's hard to say who has more fun at agility, the dogs or the people.Agility is a fast growing dog performance event.  Dogs learn to navigate jumps, an A-frame, teeter-totter, tunnels, chutes, and a dogwalk (like a catwalk, but better).  You'll see dogs weaving through a set of 12 poles in a slalom then tearing off to the next obstacle. It is exciting and fun.

The best part is that each course is completely different, so there is a lot of strategy and skill in directing your dog through the designated course. This really is a team event, and develops a strong bond between handler and dog. Whether you are just thinking about trying agility or have been trialing with your Portie for years, the PNWPWDC Agility Fun Day is for you.  We'll have two separate sessions, one for experienced dogs and one for newbies.
