The most exciting agility

This years FCI Agility World Championships included some of the most exciting agility I've ever seen.

The courses were phenomenally fast and technical. The surface was superb and provided excellent grip and wonderful cushioning, which added to the dogs speed. This resulted in four days of exhilarating agility. 

Dave Munnings and Fame winning the bronze medal in the individual class was the icing on the cake. 

I don’t think any of us expected the courses to be so fast. That said, Agility Team GB attacked each run confidently and looked well prepared for the challenge. Many team members said ‘running out there was the most amazing agility experience ever’. 

Our team photographer Simon Peachey took dozens (probably 100's) of great photos at the event which you can find here and of course there are lots of interesting posts on social media from the team, other competitors and spectators.

It’s now time for reflection, de-briefing, feedback and planning for next year; we’ve already reserved accommodation in Turku, Finland 2019. It’s also time to start our analysis and I’m going to give you a flavour of that in future blogs over the next few weeks which will include some guest bloggers.
