Dog agility is a sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. The handler can’t touch the dog or obstacles. Only voice and hand commands are allowed.
A basic agility course is run on an area of apporoximately 100 by 100 feet and has numbered obstacles (tire, jumps, weave poles, a-frame, tunnels), laid out by an agility judge in a design of their own choosing. The numbers represent the order in which the obstacles are to be completed.
Agility courses are made difficult enough that a dog could not complete them correctly without human direction.

In this video the dog Louie clearly loves training and doing tricks with his owner. This video shows what can be accomplished when dedicated owners and their pets work diligently together. Louie is an amazing dog, but he didn’t learn all of these tricks over night.
Doing agility and high jumps can be fun, but don’t start your pooch too young. High jumps can be extremely tough on a young dogs skeletal structure. Let your pal finish growing before you start any jumps. Excessive jumping can cause problems for your dog in his adult years, so be careful not to over do it.
When starting your pet training sessions, you may want to limit training sessions to around 15 minutes. Keeping your training sessions short and fun will keep your dog excited and wanting more. It’s not training to your pet, just some outside fun with mom and dad.
With love and a lot of patience you and your dog will be able to accomplish amazing things together.
The dog in this video was trained by www.unleashedunlimited.com. You can contact them online or by phone 512-518-8062.
