Cantref Gwaelod Agility GroupA bit about us…

Cantref Gwaelod are a dog agility club that train in Mid-Wales, just a few miles inland from the pretty harbour town of Aberaeron.

Our training ethos is to make the experience a positive one for dog and handler alike!

We currently meet at 7pm on Tuesday nights at Celaeron Equestrian Centre near Aberaeron. We run two groups, one for complete beginners and the other for the more experienced dogs and handlers. These range from those doing it for a bit of fun for themselves and their dogs to those competing at the top levels of the sport.

We currently have nearly 40 members on our books, many with multiple dogs – it is an addictive sport!

None of the trainers are paid for their hard work, it is all done for the love of dogs, and long may it remain so.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and egalitarian club, with someone always available to support dogs and humans in good times and bad.

We hope to continue to grow from strength to strength!
