Hello Everyone!
In this week’s video, I will be doing a sequence with my dogs that includes various obstacles in order to help prepare us for our agility trial next weekend. Our agility trial is March 5 in Pomona and before every trial, I like to work on certain sequences and drills to ensure that my dogs are ready to show.
Also, I recently got a brand new dog walk which is very exciting because it opens a whole new door to my practice times at home. With this new dog walk, I will be able to work on all kinds of contact behavior and be able to do it without having to drive to my training center.
The sequence that I set up with include the dog walk, tunnel, weave poles, and various jumps. Some main things that I work on pre-trial are rear crosses, front crosses, and blind crosses. I also really put a big emphasis on weave poles because those are where you can rack up the most faults during trials. Even though I use this sequence pre-trial, it can be used for any kind of practice with your dog. I invite you to set up this sequence either in your own yard or at your local club and give it a try for yourself. I hope you enjoy the video and feel free to leave any questions below! Never forget to reward your dog frequently and make it a fun time for you and your dog!!
Happy training!
