kristin asked:
I have a few obstacles for her to jump over, but how do I get her to run through the course without me leading her with a leash? I can’t just stand holding a treat on the other side, because she just runs around the jump. (if she comes at all.) Any advice?

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!

SHELTIELUVER asked:
I have a 10 month old Sheltie. We’ve taken about 10 classes and she is doing wonderful except for one thing, she’s afraid of the see-saw. She’ll get on it and walk maybe a couple of steps and then just freezes. I’ve tried coaxing her with praise and putting treats every few inches to no avail! If I go to the other side and put it down for her, she will finish it but she won’t use her own weight to get it down. I’m getting frustrated! We had problems with the dog walk for a while but after she discovered she can do it, she’s a pro now! Does it just take some dogs a while to be confident about some of the obstacles? Like, some dogs **** the chute or if the tunnel is turned but she loves them! Should I try making a see-saw to practice with at home, anybody know how to make one? Oh, she isn’t afraid of the see-saw noise but the movement. Help!!!
