Lissie asked:


I have a dog who is starting in agility (2 year old standard rat terrier). Right now I have a 4 foot tunnel (she can’t get enough of this!), 6 weave poles (which are a little hard, but she’s getting the concept), a pause box (working on that as she can’t stay still), and a high jump (she jumps triple what is required of her). I want to know what I can work on and ideas for competing.

1. What obstacles should I work with her next on?

2. Where can I get cheap equipment or websites on how to make my own?

3. How do I get started, when can she start, and what do I need to know to get started in competions?

4. On our progress we’ve made, is that good for one month in training?

Answer how many of them you want, I just want info

thanks!

My dog is 3 year old, male border collie. He loves playing with his frisbee and is very energetic. He’s very good at fetching, a big requirement for frisbee, what else does he need to know if anything? How can I get him to behave in public? At home, he behaves fine, but in public, he goes berserk, I’m afriad that he’d run away if I took him to play frisbee, and you cna’t play frisbee or do agility with a leash on either.

I have a Golden Retriver X Black Labrador Retriever. Her name is Snickers, she turned three on April 22,2007. She is realy,realy sweet and very entergetic. I’m still working with her to be more obidient, she dosn’t act too puppyish today, bu she has her moments. I’ve been interested in agility since I was around three years old, watching Border Collies and all my fav breeds. I’m going to join 4-H. I want to learn more of the rules of agility, and all about it. Snickers cna jump realy well, she is very collected and a neat jumper, I’ve set up little odd and n jumps in our garage and yard. But she is always on the leash. She isnt afraid of water, and very,very brave! (Though I don;t think their is water is agility…) Can anyone give me any information on agility, and any tips on agility training? Answers are greatly appreciated! Peace out! XD

Ali asked:


I have a border collie that I am starting to compete in agility, and she is very fast. The only problem is she jumps really fast and flat. Does anyone have training tips on how to get a more rounded jump from her. Thanks in advance!

Tropical Kiwi asked:


I have a 4 1/2 year old Welsh Terrier that I have started agility with. I have jumped him 20 in at the highest (1 ft-18in in a coarse) and I have taught him to do tunnels flawlessly. But when I teach weaving, he gets it when you have them far apart, but once I put them closer, he weaves one pole, runs down the rest of the line, and weaves the last. My command for him is ‘weave’ and I say it each time he is supposed to bend. I am getting frusterated and so is my dog because he starts to get sour on the topic. Is there any way I could teach him to weave? I also want to teach the teeter totter and A frame but I have no accsess to either of them. He tries to jump everything I point at him also (first time I had short weave poles and he jumped over the weave pole…I was so afraid he was going to bust a gut, I had to make them 5 ft tall).

Sienna says lol asked:


I have a hyper Black and White Border collie named Roxy. I have trained almost everything a dog can learn (like Sit, stay, come,backup, lay, roll over, play dead etc.) i have even taught her how to jump over 4 feet and to swerve in out if poles. I was wondering if agility would be good for a dog like her.
Do they need speicial training for that?
Is more than than just what i have taught?
How much do enetrance fees usually cost?
