Agility And Flyball In Adelaide

[Ravyk]

I'm looking at starting my 3yo Terrier X in Agility and my 2yo Cattle X in Flyball. I'm rather new to this area of dog sports-never really thinking about doing it until now, so bear with me and my probably stupid questions.

Can I enter my two dogs in beginners at the ages they are?

Can I enter them even though they are mutts?

Where are some clubs in Adelaide? preferably down south

What kind of prices am I looking at [fees, equipment, etc]?

What kind of equipment would I need to buy myself?

What kind of training/feeding regime would I need to put my dogs on?

Hi Ravyk

The closest club to you with both agility & flyball I think would be Dover gardens.

Your dogs can start at any age but may have to have a certain level of obedience training first. At my club you have to have at least grade 4 to start agility.

All dogs mutts/ pure breed can do dog sports :D

I think to start off your dog just needs a flat collar, no check chains etc

Not sure about fees for Dover gardens club you may have to ring them to find out all the info you need. Im as Southern districts at Morphett vale, we have agility but not flyball.

Agility is great fun & Im sure your dogs would love it!

Hope that helps!

Hmmm...so start them in Obedience first? they probably both could do with it :D

hi,

My name is melissa and i am a member of Dover gardens and obededience club. We do have flyball but we do not have agility. The flyball is on sunday mornings at about 10.00. But i also do agility, but at the agility is held a the agility club of south australia, held at the german shepard grounds on a thursday night. But i do believe that nourlunga districts obedience club do agility on a monday night but im not sure.

Im not sure of the web pages addresses but just look on the internet.
