Puppy Training and General Household Dog Training

 

Goodog positive training and dog walking - found in the northern beaches of Sydney.
The trainers at GOODOG also train with us in agility.

Get Smart Dogs - pet dog training classes on Sydney's North Shore. Highly recommended for initial training with your young dog . . . and mature dogs too - old dogs can learn new tricks. Some of the trainers at Get Smart Dogs also train with us in agility.

Animal Training Solutions - This business now operates in Alice Springs, so may be a little remote for some. None the less, it is a great reference site to learn about positive reinforcement training  with a fantastic book list. This site is for general training, not specifically agility. And it is not just for dogs.
 

German Shorthaired Pointer Websites

My favourite German Shorthaired Pointer kennels in Germany are:
von der Madlage  http://www.klaus-hemme.de
vom Kronsberg  http://www.vom-kronsberg.piczo.com

You can also find GSP's in Australia on the Dogz On Line website which is listed in our Purebred dogs websites link (further down the page).

Agility Trialling Associations and other agility sites.

Australian National Kennel Council is the body that runs the majority of agility trials across Australia. Even though this body was established to promote purebred dogs in such endeavours as conformation shows and gundog trials, it recognises all dogs in trialling pursuits (agility, obedience, herding tracking, earth dog trials, lure coursing and dog dancing.) Each state has into own body. In NSW it is called DOGS NSW. To find out about agility in NSW go to the website of the Dogs NSW Agility Committee. It includes a trialling Calendar, information about point scores, agility training clubs and links to website with similar information in the other states of Australia

Clean Run - an American website devoted to agility

ADAA - Agility Dog Association of Australia

ADAC - Australian Dog Agility Council (when it asks for a password, click <cancel>)

Joints stress article - a very interesting, although old article written by European vets and physiotherapists (who also do agility) about the stresses and strains that occur to a dog's joints during agility. This link will take you to the home page, then click on "Loads in Agility". It seems that there is heaps of interesting stuff about agility on this website, but unfortunately, this article is about the only thing that is in English. But using the Google Babelfish translator can help.

Purebred Dogs in Australia

Dogz on Line - about purebred dogs in Australia. This site is set up to promote purebred dogs, and is exactly where to look if you are thinking about purchasing a purebred puppy. You will find breeders, litter advertisements and all sorts of information about a particular breed. There is also an extensive forum on this site where you can ask all sorts of questions about dogs, including breeding, training, photography and all sorts of other topics.

Dogs NSW is the NSW controlling body of the Australian National Kennel Council. You can find out about trialling, breeding dogs etc on this site. The link to information about ANKC agility in NSW is above. You will also find links to the controlling bodies in other states.

Apex Boxers - a great site for Boxer breeders, some good information about agility, dog care and breeding in general.
