Agility Training Camp- The 1st of it's kind in Malaysia. This is planned for August 2010. 2 days foundation training, 2 days handling skills training and followed by an Agility Trial. The Malaysian Agility Dog Handlers are ready to learn new training techniques. After about 10 years the agility sport was introduced in Malaysia, it is time we learn new training methods to build the next generation of Agility dogs in Malaysia. International Agility Championship- The 1st in Malaysia. Not everyone can afford competing in Europe or US with their dogs. So to bring the international spirit to Malaysia, we will invite Agility Judges from 3 countries to a Malaysia's International Agility Championship. This will be an annual event in Malaysia where each dog compete in 9 events and if successful will take home a International Agility Champion Title. Work has started with developing the Rules, inviting judges and applying for sponsorship to this exciting event. On this page are photos of the dogs that have competed in PAA Agility Trials. We thank them and their handlers for their sporting spirit and passion in the development of the Dog Agility Sport in Malaysia. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
