AGILITY.
TRAINING WITH YOUR POOCHER.
INTRODUCTION.
The relationship between man and dog goes back many centuries, when man discovered that dogs were more efficient hunters than himself.
Over a period of time he domesticated them to help him hunt, in return for providing shelter and a share of the kill.it was a partnership from which both benefited.
This, combined with the dog's social needs, i.e. a pack formation requiring a leader (us), led to the forming of bonds which have lasted to the present day.
Now Agility Training takes this bond one stage further by having gone through the stages of :-
  1. Psyching out your dog.

  2. Informal Training.

  3. Formal training.

  4. Obedience training.

  5. You can then progress to Agility Training. As this is a very wide ranging and specific area we have linked together a few sites that cover this area as a specialist subject :-
