    Default Agility groups Northern VA

    Anybody know of any near here? I was looking to find another thing to do with the dogs and figured this seems fun.

    There are folks in the Old Dominion Retriever Club that can steer you in the right direction. Roger's wife competes in this agility stuff. They may be a little more Southern than you like!

    See web site:

    You can see in the pic of an agility training area on the lower right, they also do HT/NAHRA training too.

    Flyball looks fun and not to difficult to train for. All of the barking might be a problem though. I have not done it, but watched videos. It would be a nice off season activity.

    I will look into these. I do have a question though. Of most of these that I have looked at, which is not all of them yet I will add. It seems like they are all classes, is there a such thing as a group like there is for hunt tests and retrievers or no? Just curious I don't want to take classes and have to keep paying, I will look through the rest to see if I can find some in the rest of the suggestions. Thanks for all the responses.

    Also flyball does look like fun for sure.
