What’s your favorite agility training tool?
In about a year my family will be moving closer to the in-laws in Mississippi. My MIL breeds Australian Shepherd’s and has asked me if I wanted to start dog training with her, focusing on agility.
We are both new to agility training and I wanted to know what are some tools that you suggest and cannot live without?
*We will be building our course at home with the obstacles being the same as a standard course.
Thanks so much!
the Clicker is a great trainng tool.
you can start Clicker Training now so you will be ready to start agil training when you move. Here is a site with a bunch of links about clicker taraining http://www.inch.com/~dogs/clicker.html
Also a lid or target ( small round item). this will help in trianing the contacts on the obsticles. Obsticles with contacts are the A frame, Teeter, and dog walk.
