Dog Agility

Something I like to do in my spare time is work on agility with my dog. I have trained her how to do the obstacles in an agility course. She knows the A-frame, the jumps, dog walk, tunnel, tire (a hoop),shes working on teeter and chute. She is a very smart dog and easy to train. So far I have only competed in one trail (2009) but she did very well. We won first in all of the three we entered but only qualified in two. We didn't qualify in the last one because I took her over the wrong jump. Dandy enjoys agility and I suggest that people who have a dog, spare time, and pactions, should find some sport to do with their dog. It could include Fly ball, Herding, or any other fun sport. Any dog can do it, whether its a mutt or pedigree, they are judged no different in any of the sports. Choose a sport its a great way for you and your dog to build trust and respect, yet have fun at the same time! Of course don't think you wont be frustrated every once in a while, because some dogs may be more resistant than others, but don't let thatshy you away. Just give it a try, and challenge yourself!
