Training your dog for agility sports

 goes well beyond simple Obedience School, however, you dog should have definitely gone through that type of training already in order to be ready for the rigors of agility training. This is not a sport for the casual dog owner, it takes a ton of training, the kind of training that most of us just don't have time for.However, if you'reAir Max France Pas Cher, undeterred by all of this, it can be done, as with any high level training, you must have a lot of patience and work out a very specific reward system for your dog and then hammer itChaussures Timberland Femme home day after day until the dog learns. Most of the folks involved are huge enthusiasts or, you guessed it, dog trainers. Of course certain breeds, the smartest obviously, tend to excel at these types of sports.Tunnels, jumps, teeter totters, and more are part of the obstacles that you and your dog will have to navigate in order to participate in a Dog Agility competition.And, as you would imagine it's quite competitive. Dog Agility is a very competitive sport, for those of you who may not know, and the people that get involved are truly "into it".It's really an amazing hobby, if you've seen the sport on the TV where a dog and their handler go through a crazy obstacle course, then you've seen Dog Agility.This sport was invented in the U.K in the late 70's, whereas Flyball was invented in the United States during that same time period, it's thought that perhaps these two sports have influenced each other, and that is probably the case as nothing happens in a vacuum. You'll have no treats or toys to incentive your dog (as this is against the rules), this level of training goes well beyond what most typical dog owners are willing to invest, and it will take hours and hours to get almost any dog to perform well. There must have been something in the water in the late 1970's because during that short period hordes of super cool dog sports were invented out of thin air, sports like Flyball, Dog Agility, and heck, even throwing around the Frisbee with the old pooch became popular at that time. Do you want to learn how to train your dog for agility sports and the like?Well, honestly, it takes a lot of commitmentChaussures Adidas Femme and patience, but in the end it's completely worth it. The sport of Flyball is actually a relay race with teams of 4 dogs involved, pretty cool to watch.Training your dog to run through a grueling and confusing obstacle course (Dog Agility) with your voice commands and hand signals alone is no easy task. It can be very rewarding to see the progress in the end.Kevin Highfill writes about how to train a dog for agility and other pet related topics at http://www.online4pets.com/..
