sister and brother love practising agility

Practising in the garden

Looks like loads of fun and a great way to tire them out

Fantastic and I am very jealous of the sunshine !

Not so sunny today and we're thankful for that

yeah lacking the sunshine but great pics

This looks brilliant would love to do this Otis when he is older

They love it and it has taught mine to think before reacting along with confidence and co-ord and even greater obedience. Vinny's very young still so as you can see we keep the bars low and he goes mad for it

Is the blue bar you're holding what you use to train them how to do it? Does it have to be something specific or can any toy they'll chase after do?

It can be anything that drives them. Our instructor always recommends bringing a toy that motivates them. That blue thing is a kong toy - which has since been snapped by Roxy tugging it

Vinny's food motivated so treats work for him too, but I'm reluctant to give them food when they're running and jumping. It's really just a case of finding what works for your dog!

Looks so much fun! Im interested in starting Shéara with agility, any ideas where i can get starter equipment cheap enough?

We bought ours locally, but I have seen a few things on Amazon and eBay. There are also a few of our members who have made great home-made equipment. Hopefully one or two of them could advise!

Photobucket playing up again for me
