G is for Groups

We all benefit from some help, support and friendly feedback from others. This is why making fellow dog agility friends, with the same interests as you in the sport, is a huge plus for all handlers. Not only can you support one another in walking courses, entering shows, and the other technical parts of agility participation, but you can also give each other tips, video each other's runs, and talk to each other, generally, about the sport and the love you share. Plus, any worries or concerns you have with your own dog. And if you are new, having a more experienced person claim your back for the foreseeable future could be the difference between missing and making a class! Having like-minded fellows can be a huge help in the general enjoyment of the sport as well. So all in all, dog agility is also a very social activity with many grand opportunities for new friends and acquaintances. You are likely to end up with a group of wonderful friends to talk to and share your interest with.

Don't stand alone; join a group.

There are also many online groups as well, which all revolve around the sport of dog agility, in every aspect. Whilst you are training, and there is no further opportunities to find new people to discuss with in real life, you can meet many more people over the internet than you most likely ever could in the real world; so get online, register up, and join in! Groups could be forums, Facebook pages, or any other website or social medias which have the topic of dog agility at heart. Let others help you out.
