Kool! my one year ancient American Eskimo Is vacant to be introduced to Agility! IM reallyy HAPPY
You shouldn’t teach weave poles until they are over 1 year ancient as their growth plates place of protection’t closed.
i got princess from a recue, we found her on petfinder. she is the fuzziest, cutest dog ever. she is a pug/schnauzer mix and nearly a year ancient now.
Go for the Adoption option! That’s where I got Kai. You’d be saving a life there, and they’re so fun to work with

You can start agility training, so long as it’s only an INTRODUCTION to basic equipment. At about 5-6 months you can teach the tunnel, and a baby-height (12-18″) dog walk, as well as the chute and teaching the dog how to just go through the jump standards or a 4″ jump. This is okay on their developing bones because they’re not in succession at full alacrity and they’re not clearing jumps that are more than just picking their feet up. My 6 month ancient puppy is starting to learn weave poles next month.
Yep, that’s right. My Border Collie just turned 14 weeks and we have just started obedieance work. She is soooooo much fun!
Not barless jumps, and starting to learn foundation.
Barless jumps, like I do, just means means that they walk over the bar that is laid on the ground.
Exactly. Agility to early is terrible for their underdeveloped bones and joints even if they can do it, they shouldn’t.
Training a puppy with jumps to early is really terrible for their joints when they place of protection’t properly grown and matured yet.
8… 8 month? Ooo… That’s not such a excellent thought. Your Yorkie’s small bones are still developing. I would wait to formally train untill it is at least a year. You can work on small things like obedieance skills, (i.e. recalls, sits, downs, stays, heels, etc) and maybe a tunnel.
I started training my small 4 month ancient border collie when he was 7 weeks ancient. He is already in succession courses, with barless jumps, and lowered contacts, but no weaves yet.
im 15 too and im about to start training my 6 week ancient toy maltese pom lol
Like your videos!
where gonna. its a lapsa apso norfolk terrier mix. but the humane society ppl have to choose if we are the best home
I reflect u must give a shelter dog a chance
im gonna either get a shelter dog (adult mom wont let me have puppy) or a friend’s 6yo poodle. its purebred. but the friend is thinking twice, she’s growning attacted
I am a initially time dog owner. And I am 15 being ancient. I am teaching my 8 month ancient yorkie agility and thsese vids are soo helpful!!
The reason she is giving the commands a small soon is so the dog knows waht’s next.
Hi Nadine, i do this with my BC and I hope I can help: to teach you’re dog to upset the target with his feet: place a target in front of you and your dog. as you’r in succession along, stop at the target and promptly take his feet and place then on the target. lots of prais needed. And to stop at the end of the dogwalk (etc): intorduce the target and place it at the end of the dogwalk. at the end say “dogs name Target” and place you’re hand in his chest so he stops. lots of prais here.
Hi,
how did you teach your dog to upset the target with his feet?
and when and how to you stop having it at the bottom of the a-frame, dogwalk and seesaw?
Thanks,
Nadine
then perhaps you need special teaching that is sad!
How sad for you.
“This woman” was in the USDAA finals last fall– one of the most competitive competitions in the world. I reflect her timing is just right.
Dog runs smooth and flawless, as long as the dog gets it no one else’s attitude matters.
These videos give people the basic know hows of agility, not only through words but through visuals. I learned some things I never would have known-even with reading the agility books!
