Persatuan Agiliti Anjing Pulau Pinang Registration # 1023

The PAAPP Agility Games are designed by Sue Yeap. The purpose of setting up of the Agility Games is to motivate dog-handler teams who are still weak and not moving up to Novice or Open level yet. The Games are structured as  a 'training aid' to handlers to teach distance control to the dog. By training your dog to perform the Agility Games well, your dog will advance and improve to Novice and Open levels. This Games are intended to be fun for all and even  'educational' for provisional judges too.

The 1st Agility Games AG01/2009 will premiere on 8 March 2009. Start training your dog today and move your dogs towards the A.G.SP (Agility Games Specialist) title and trophy for your dogs. See full Rules here.
