Agility Training
What fun things to do in the agility of the dog training sessions?
my dog has been a bore to agility.what I can do to make dog training more fun?
Hard to answer because they do not mention what you are doing! I've been doing agility for 15 years, with a variety of breeds and mixes, and each dog has had fun every time we do agility (maybe with some non-fun thrown in the mix, but not often, and increasingly as I learn more and more) If you are setting the dog to succeed (not hard to make things very often) and the use of reinforcement of high value (the dog is defined as that is reinforcing) when the dog is successful (in small steps, not just the big ones), your dog should be having a good time. Clean Run magazine always has some great practice fields and mounts, and there are some free ones available on their website. Is it possible you're bored? Try setting a goal small for each session, and keep sessions short. Depending on the skill level of your dog, you might have a goal of dog that is able to make an entrance pole tissue, both sides smooth and rough side of an established channel of 12 feet away, start with it 20 feet away, get some success, then pass little bit more, and since we're working on entries, do this with only 4 to 6 poles, so the dog is not doing much knitting, and has successfully once has been input, do not worry too much if it does the rest, which is easier for you if there is a set of poles! Linda Mecklenburg showed "remind the heel "position, so sometimes a session is becoming more as a jump, two jumps and tunnel combo, and make sure I do jerky transmission. Other sessions could be devoted to contact work or performance (for me) and understanding (by my dog) combinations diffferent reference. Keep it fresh for you and your dog!
