If you and your dog have done a basic obedience class or if your dog can sit, down, and come when called you should have the foundation skills to begin Agility training.
Competitive Agility equipment is different from what we use for our Fun Agility, here is what we use.
The Tire:
Stark demonstrating the Tire |
Weave Poles:
Maggie weaving |
Fast dogs can go through the Weaves faster than their human can run.
Over/Unders:
Over the short ones and under the tall one.
Whiskey going Over |
Ahab going Under and Digger going Over |
Put it all together and you have a race!
Many of our members also compete at Agility with their dogs. If you are interested in competitive Agility please contact an Agility training group.
We do not offer Agilty classes but if you are interested in trying out a little Fungility with your dog please contact us at K9.CalgaryLongshots at gmail dhat com. Make the usual substitutions for an email address.
