Celtic
Paws Agility is a small Dog Agility Club which is based at the Scottish SPCA
Animal Rescue Centre at
Balerno, just outside Edinburgh. Its members compete at Dog Shows throughout the
country, at all grades and with all sizes and varieties of dogs. The club has
been running now since the summer of 2007 and the quality of both dogs and
handlers is growing from strength to strength. Training takes place on Tuesdays
and Thursday evenings and is held outdoors during the summer months and indoors
during the winter. Currently the club does not have the capacity to cater for
newcomers to the sport of Dog Agility although enquiries are welcome from people
already competing in the sport to join us for training. A great proportion of
our dogs are rescue dogs which reflects the close association the club has with
the Scottish SPCA.

For those of you unsure about what Dog agility is all about, we invite you to have a browse around this website. The site is under development but as it grows we hope to show you how we at Celtic Paws approach our dog training, what we get up to at competitions and how much we enjoy the relationships we have built with our canine companions. This website will also provide you with links to other dog related websites we believe are of value to you. We also have a Facebook site where we regularly post photos and video clips of our dogs competing at various shows. Please follow the link to this site to see what we get up to.
