837.0. "Agility Club Wanted" by KERNEL::ANDERSONL () Wed Feb 08 1995 10:31

    Hi,
    
    I have recently acquired a dog and have decided that both of us need to
    loose some weight!  I was hoping to find a dog agility class somewhere
    near Basingstoke but don't have a clue how to go about finding one.  So
    does anyone know of any clubs/classes or do you have any idea how to
    find out if there are any in Basingstoke
    
    Thanks
    
    Lynn

	There's one in the Greywell/Odiham area that gets together on Sunday mornings. I don't know any specific details, but I could ask around if this is within travelling distance for you. The 'What's On' section of the Gazette often lists Dog Classes. (Basingstoke is so exciting!). There are/were regular dog training classes held at the Vyne School on Tuesday/Thursday evenings. These can be good exercise, especially if you have to keep a pair of Alsations under control.

	Why don't you blindfold the dog....Drive it 100 miles north.... And wait for it to come home.... Just a thought ....( Notes smile symbol to be placed here...) K.R.

	Lynne, You could try SlimFast...For the dog that is. Alternativly...Stop feeding eat, try salads, trade it in for a whippet.

	>>Why don't you blindfold the dog....Drive it 100 miles north.... >>And wait for it to come home.... Alternatively, incase you are worried that the dog could get lost, why not simply tie it's lead to the bumper and then drive 100 miles north. The exercise would do wonders. Jonathan
837.5	Labradors love Lycra	NEWOA::NASH		`Tue Feb 14 1995 16:12`	13
	Jonathan, Before doing this you would have to take plenty of precautions; a) Install indicator lights to dog (maybe flourescent arrow on tail) b) Warn other road users by pinning on a "on-tow" sign. c) Dependent on size of dog you may have to check your intended journey for any low bridges etc. d) Install 'easy-wipe' mudflaps to avoid any unneccesary splash backs
