I have a 9 month old Border Collie I want to train in agility - still need to master obedience though 😅
AgiirDut
Im training my pitbull for agility
Lol mine knows her commands but I’m not as strict so she kinda listens for the most part she’s really good but when she’s excited 🙄🥴
I'm training my 10 years old cat for agility but need to master obedience first

Yea I’m getting my dog a jump,a hoop and a ramp for my garden
Ya I’m training my dog for quarantine
He forgot the very basics of starting agility - get a dog! Me and my cat sit here and are slightly confused...
Lmao
Lol 😂😂
Lmao me wanna train are cats together
@@sierrachris5917 Haha, good luck...
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?
He forgot to mention the (probably) the most important rule, that the dog MUST be at least a year old if your thinking about doing agility. It interferes with their growing joints. But the weave poles, A frame, see-saw and teeter should be fine
My dog is incredibly fast, agile, and flexible. The only one that I'm worried about is me and my own stamina, trying to catch up to her 😂 I also worry about losing track of the course order, even though it's numbered.
as you keep practicing, you'll remember! muscle memory is an amazing thing~
I am wanting to get my Chihuahua Min Pin mix into agility (I think that is what she is. Best guess). She already uses the living room as a course so may as well teach her to do it correctly
A beagle unexpectedly came into my life. He needs this!
My dog has obedience as she’s a service dog and she has a natural knack for agility I believe. At the couple dog parks I take her to she loves going through whatever courses that are setup there and she’s naturally great with climbing and jumping. Now just gotta start training somewhere
I have been watching the agility course for some time now and i have a dog of a mix breed that shows amazing energy. I hope it goes well. Thanks for the video. 😀
Good illustrations and explanations. Thank you.
I started agility with my papillon cross when i was 9 and she was nearly 1 years old!! we were self taught but we will now be going to a training group next week on sunday
I have a Blue Heeler and my dog would really love this.
I was getting my dogs into agility, it's gonna take a while as I have quite a few dogs!
Awesome video!!!
Awesome. The dog is superbly trained!!
Great tip we were given when doing agility is to give a joint supplement to prevent joint damage, we use Antinol, and mine increased his speed!
Thanks for the helpful video. Everything is clear and understandable. I want to start training with a border collie, she is 2 years old.
How's it going with the agility training on your dog? I'm starting
I'd love to do this with my next dog!
Amazing 😀
I saw a top judge send his border collie round an agility course while standing beside the first obstacle. Just giving voice commands. Over, left, right, table, He used the command "go" ahead of the seesaw, a-frame. The dog knew how to get all the touch points.
I've not seen anyone else with that skill. I certainly can't do it, except, for example, a sequence of jumps in a row.
Any comments.
I have a German Shepherd and were really close and I want to train him in agility but we need to work on his focus and nervousness towards other dogs😊🐕🦺🐕🐶
You might find once you join a class his nerves may go away as agility helps to build confidence if done correctly.bandit was nervous with other dogs as he was attacked by an off lead dog as a pup.now he loves everyone and is so confident.
I'm no expert, barely an amateur, but a well exercised dog is a more focused dog as well. I'm sure that just doing some basic stuff in your backyard or whatever would be beneficial. It's what I plan on doing later this summer. I have a 9 year old terrier who's always going under the shed and jumping over obstacles. I'm convinced that just having hoops and whatnot in the yard will be beneficial to her mental and physical health (she put on 4 pounds over the last year due to a number of factors, especially a cold, icy, long winter
Good stuff! We just got a German Shephard puppy that seems to love to go in and out of places. With my past experience as an engineer, I would like to design some obstacles.
I do have a suggestion though. For the "jumping" apparatuses, instead of using something that a bar has to sit on, why not use magnets at the ends of the poles and have a metal strip on the uprights?
That way a dog can land straight down on the bar and it will still fall... also, you can adjust the height by much smaller increments if needed. something to think about.
Let me know if you want me to design one.
U have a 1 year old cavalier she's just started jumping I'm gonna try get her to do the poles things soon
2 year old german/Belgian shepherd and a one year old springer spaniel I want to train. The shepherd is amazing but the spaniel still needs a LOT of work
How young can you register with the local kennel club? And is it 15 months of age before they can start for agility competition?
what dog where you using for this
Pretty Cool.
3/4 heeler 1/4 corgi! Bring on the agility! This girl has springs in her legs and loves to do fun stuff
What is the distance between each weave pole?
is the agility track course standard in all competitions? or is the layout changed?
Anil -- every agility course is different, although the obstacles are pretty standard. Some courses are relatively straightforward such as the course in the video. Other courses can be much more difficult with backside jumps and 'traps' designed to entice a dog to take the wrong obstacle. The dog is completely dependent on the handler to guide him around the course.
Where can I get that equipment my dog is moving up in levels and we’re in need of some jumps and such 😅
Keep an eye out in aldi supermarket if u have one or b and m
I swear. Agility and show jumping, pole bending. Horses. Are almost the same
I'm an equestrian and my dog does agility. Same thing!
@@jessjohnston6159 yes same!
That's because dog agility is based off of show jumping.
im in Virginia Beach does anyone know where I can start doing agility
My rescue sheltie and I have done beginners and she loves it…so much that she never stops barking when in her crate. I have covered it, put treats in the crate, use a snuffle mat, but when she hears the commotion while waiting her turn, she cant contain herself. I am not new to agility or shelties. I’ve had 12 shelties through the years, and 4 have had agility training. How can I quiet her down?
Are Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers good at agility? I'm thinking of training mine to agility.
I've seen them in agility finals at crufts, so yes they definetly can!
@@magalieg273 great, thanks a lot!
They are one of the top breeds for agility right now
All dogs
A year late but they definitely are.
I HAVE A YORKIE POO WHO HASN'T A TON OF ENERGY IS THIS SOMETHING SHE COULD DO? WE WOULD JUST DO WANT TO FOR FUN?
My dog is incredibly fast, agile, and flexible. The only one that I'm worried about is me and my own stamina, trying to catch up to her I also worry about losing track of the course order, even though it's numbered.
Can someone explain the left hand side facing thing to me?
When the dog enters the poles, the first pole should be on the dog's left side

I'm worried my standard poodle will start jumping our backyard fence if I teach her to jump over obstacles. She can already leap incredibly high.
my doodle dose agility and she can jump quite hight but if your fence is 6ft+ you should be ok
I own a horse and when I couldn’t visit him I started training my dog to jump over the weirdest stuff I could find, he can jump oxers and everything
I want to train my Golden retriever agility but she refuses to do jumps and only seems to like the tube, what should I do?
I think you should move the bar in the ground if that bar moves and start jumping when the bar is down and then getting the bar more higher when you think your dog can jump over the bar.
Maybe it hurts her to jump. I would have checked with a orthopedist. I have a Labrador retriever and I do not make him jump high because of the danger of dysplasia
I love all of this apart from the ongoing effort of the Kennel Club to control everything. You cannot compete (in the UK) unless your dog is KC registered? Hmm...
Well, yeah. It's a kennel club sport. They own it and run it. It's no different than registering your dog for obedience training at your local trainers.
@@Ilovekiroro Nonsense.
I can form a local football team without needing permission from FIFA.
@@davidjames2145 yes but can you play with your team at an official fifa event without being registered w Fifa? No
@@oliviadaly4795 Local football teams can play among themselves, including leagues and ladders, without recourse to FIFA.
I'm guessing you don't play football.
I think the video title is misleading. It is not really about tips but about basic knowledge and name of the tricks
Can a chiwawa + dachound mix be good at agility
Any dog! Just watch for back problems with the dachund part
@@sol8598 He been showing no back problems.😀
He looks like a Staffy but he has none in him
Cor what's with kc club not wanting me to gain support? I'm a new up and coming handler with my dog bandit but they keep deleting my comments. Glad we all support each other @kc
I have a PapaRussaHuahua... hoping she can do this
A what
@@gk6387 she is a papillion, jack russell, chihuahua MIX Paparussahuaha
@@YogalignKauai oh okay that makes sense now.
?? A papillon Russian Terrier Chihuahua mix? Literally any dog thats more than one breed is mix or mutt. Doesn't need a fancy name and for people to be charged thousands. I got a brilliant dog who's got an amazing temprament and going to be starting assistance/service dog training wirh me (with the help of an org) next week and she's a mutt who jumped over a wall in the Greek Bush landscape into a busy road and pestered my sister til she wad picked up and we brought her back to the UK.
I could claim she's a EnglishAmericanCockerStandardToyPoodleChiMalChinPekingeseShihPomChinSpringerLabOrchidRussaGermanDaxiePolishShepherdAkbashSegugio (a mix of Toy/Std Poodle, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Japanese Chin, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel, Lab, Chihuahua, Peruvian Inca Orchid, Dachshund, Russian Toy Terrier, German Shepherd, Polish Lowland Sheepdog, Mini American Shepherd, Akbash Dog, Segugio Italiano) but she is literally a mixed breed or a mutt.
@@oliviadaly4795 - Hey my dogs are mutts but would make a great breed. Also I do not sell the for thousands.. Only $100 and make sure they go to a good home.
I don't think the US president could complete ANY of these elements successfully. 😂
😂😂😂
WOW!! Protest you are amazingly beautiful!! So impressive!!
My puppy is energetic like a little monkey+alligator. I need find some activities to consume his energy.😄😄😄
sometimes my dog doesnt pull on the leash too much.
Go Protest!!!
Why can’t they use mixed hybrids instead of pure breeds
They do. Any healthy adult dog can compete in agility.
L. Lewis thanks but why aren’t they more common?!
@@dogloaf4114 -- To be honest I'm not sure. In lower levels of competition you're likely to find quite a few mixed breeds. At really high levels of competition the border collie seems to rule. There are other breeds (including mixed) that do very well in agility, but the really competitive handlers seem to choose a purebred maybe because it's easier to know what to expect as far as trainability and/or temperament. That's just a guess on my part. I trained a Pomeranian to run agility but never competed.
Hey YT people! That MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!!! REMIX IT QUIETER! PLEASE!!!
agility should not be confined to being purebred...
It isn't? Just had a look at the KC activity register (which you have to register dog on) it takes crossbreed dogs. I remember a rescue dog at Crufts doing agility (who went viral for just ignoring all aspects of the course) who was a mixed breed rescue. So it's not confined to being purebred at all
The lady doth protest too much, me thinks
4 min video and said nothing.
"Protest" soooooooooooooooo CRINGE!
I was getting my dogs into agility, it's gonna take a while as I have quite a few dogs!
Pretty Cool.
