In addition to providing the mental and physical stimulation your dog needs, practicing agility is a great way to bond with your pup. But where to begin?
In the sport of canine agility, handlers direct dogs around an obstacle course that includes weave poles, jumps, tunnels, see-saws and A-frames. Competitions exist for the more advanced dog athletes, but many people practice agility with their dogs just for fun.
If you want to start agility training, first consider if it is suitable for your dog, and if your dog would enjoy it. BestReviewsâ
The sportâs high-impact running and jumping arenât suitable for young dogs; it can give them joint and hip trouble later in life. Itâs best to wait until your dog is at least a year old â 18 to 24 months, even, for large breeds that take longer to physically mature.
