    where will the event be? There are agility clubs all over the country, so if you let us know whereabouts, I'm sure someone could put in touch with a local club :)

    What about a "working dogs" demo? For example, you could have sheep dogs herding footballs or a search and rescue dog finding a hidden person. That would be fun to watch and would help to highlight some of the amazing things dogs can do. :)

    You could try contacting the Irish Search Dogs:

    http://www.irishsearchdogs.com

    They're based in Cork, but might be willing to travel.

    Try contacting the irish agility and dog sport association maybe, FB page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/265014037187/?fref=ts

    I'm not sure how much agility is done in Kerry, I know someone in west cork was really struggling to find a club.

    You could also maybe contact the Canicross West Cork, they could possibly do a short demo. https://www.facebook.com/CanicrossWestCork?fref=ts

    Best of luck.

    I'm not aware of an agility club in kerry unfortunately. There aren't that many agility handlers down that way and we're in the middle of competition season now. There's a competition in Dublin that same weekend so the majority of the competitors will be at that. It's also a question of hauling all the gear there which isn't easy to say the least :(
