In the time before the class begins, I suggest teaching your pup as many dog tricks as you can think of. Yes, dog tricks! Doing agility obstacles is really just a bunch of tricks all put together in a series. So a dog that knows how to learn new tricks will learn agility more easily. I’ve found that tricks are great for building a number of skills: balance, coordination, strength, and most of all teamwork between dog and handler!
There are lots of tricks videos on YouTube that will give you some ideas. Some trainers even post tutorial videos showing how to teach a certain trick. Search “dog trick tutorial” on YouTube.
Here’s a video showing some tricks that might give you ideas.
Happy training!
