Dog Agility Class in Pecos Park

One dog agility class student completing the course.

How can I train my dog in agility at home?

So, I recently discovered that my dog who’s around a year old would be perfect for agility.
I don’t want to enroll in classes and I would like to do the training myself. What do I need, what are some tips, what do I teach it, and how?

What’s your favorite agility training tool?

In about a year my family will be moving closer to the in-laws in Mississippi. My MIL breeds Australian Shepherd’s and has asked me if I wanted to start dog training with her, focusing on agility.

We are both new to agility training and I wanted to know what are some tools that you suggest and cannot live without?

*We will be building our course at home with the obstacles being the same as a standard course.

Thanks so much!

Training a dog in agility?

I am absolutely clueless about training a dog in agility, but I think that me and my dog should at least give it a go before we decide that its too much of a challenge.
So, where should we start? he is a 2yr old male, neutered maltese x poodle mix, and he loves to run and jump around, he goes really hyper.

good dog breeds for agility training?

hi,

I’m thinking about getting another dog. I really want a trainable dog that would be good for agility training. I can’t hav anything to big and I don’t want something to small (no bigger than a labrador and no smaller than a jack russel)… around the size of a corgi is good. as I said I want to be able to train i And teach it tricks. it needs to be friendly around other dogs and have good stamina for agility…

what breeds do you think would suit this??
