Agility

We have weekly agility training sessions for all levels, whether you are interested in learning agility purely for fun, or whether you are interested in taking it to competition level. We have many members who compete at agility shows across the country most weekends. We even have one member who won the prestigious Pedigree Olympia Final in 1987.

These days, most of the dogs taking part in agility at Scunthorpe are Border Collies, Working Sheepdogs or collie crosses. However, all breeds are welcomed and many members have achieved, and are still achieving success with alternative breeds. We have members who compete with German Shepherds, Lurchers, Labradors, and Belgian Shepherds.

At least once a year the club tries to arrange Training Days with top Instructors, to bring expertise and variety to the club. Places on these courses are on a first come first served basis, and any remaining places are advertised to neighbouring clubs. Previous trainers have been Jo Rhodes, Jo Fraser, Traci Gaunt, Colin Green, Diane Talbot and Alan Bray.
