Yeovil Agility Club

About us

Yeovil Agility Club was founded in 2004 by Ruth and Dave Soutar. As a result of expanding membership in 2006 the Club now has 2 training venues, one at Bearley just outside Tintinhul and the other, at World Horse Welfare, Kingston.

Our Club trainers have all gained experience from competing themselves and recieve regular  tuition from Dawn Weaver one of  the best trainers in the South West. 

(Sue competes at Grade 4 and at the highest level at UKa)
(Dave competes at Grade 3 and Novice at UKa)
(Ruth competes at Grade 3 and Novice at UKa) 

All training at Yeovil is reward based, we do not permit harsh or punitive handling.

There is no pressure on members to compete if they don't want to. There are still lots of things to enjoy, like the Club Social Events!!

We do a lot of public displays.  Where we  work alongside local charities and community groups to help them raise funds, whilst our members have been able to use these events for training their dogs at different locations, ideal for competition.  We have also invited the general public to come and have a go themselves on some jumps and tunnels, with all proceeds going to the Club's charities.

Agility is a sport for everyone, regardless of age, physical fitness and ability. Adapted handling techniques can result in some very good results from disabled handlers when in direct competition with fully able bodied handlers. This is truly a sport for all, you just need a love of dogs and a sense of humour.
