Agility is fun. Dogs enjoy the freedom and speed and challenge. Owners enjoy the increased bond with the dog as they work out the challenges inherent in mastery of each obstacle. The dog must be in perfect sync with the owner on the agility course for there is no leash and collar for control. Some basic obedience is a must in order for the dogs to follow direction from the handler.
Conditioning is critical for strenuous agility competition.
Puppies can be started in training with regular walks at four months of age. Instead take them on the contact obstacle first. Getting them use to going up and down them touching the yellow contact points. Pixie is Co-Owned by Sharon Buethner. Sharon is a member of Red River North.
