Agility for staffies

[austin]

I noticed on crufts and on Dog Borstal that there are quite a few staffs that do agility. It looks like great fun, we have never done anything like this before so it is completely new. I have found a local club that is running agility classes. Do any of you do agility with your staffs???

I cannot tell you not too many here to agility. But, some Obedience training I suggest is a must, then start. There is not limit to Agility. If an English Bulldog can do it any dog can. Saw it on Animal Planet, it is not so hard, unless your being timed, if for fun it is easy. I believe in Obedience training before a dog starts anything. I can see no reason why a dog cannot receive total Obedience without interfering with agility either? Go go it and enjoy.:)

Did u see the TV programme whre celebs did agility with rescue dogs and then the public could adopt them.? One of them was a staffie and it was amazing ,I personally never thought of a staff doing agility but this little bitch was amazing and learnt so quickly, also she did get a home at the end. So I say go ahead u will have great fun.
