International Agility Festival

Hi there-

long time, no blog! I've finally found time to blog and have decided to write about the International Agility Festival that is running on 10-12th August at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire. This is a FREE event for spectators and, as long as their dog is well-behaved and on a lead, their dog! Any dog can take part in the 3 day festival but, if you wanted to enter this year, it's too late. The Festival always includes graded classes for all height categories and all grades of agility dog and handler, so that everyone gets a chance to compete at 

their own level at the UK's largest agility show. With a series of cup classes for all levels - the Starters Cup, Novice Cup, British Open and Nations Cup - as well as special classes for younger handlers and YKC members, there are many opportunities for the best performing dogs and handlers to secure a place at Crufts or at Discover Dogs. The Festival has space for over 700 campers which makes staying the full weekend more like a holiday. For visitors, there are lots of things to do such as 'Have a Go' agility to try out on and a Companion Dog Show with different classes. Adding to that, there are lots of stands to shop from for you and your dog so bring spending money! Watch the video below for a taster of what the International Agility Festival is like: 

I would definitely recommend taking the family out for the day to the Festival- have a great day!
