A speed test for an agility dog

Quite many of us neglect speed training and just accept the speed that our dog offers along the way. Actually, there’s a lot you can do! This test is designed to be repeated once in a while so that you can see how your dog’s speed has developed.

Training challenge: independent seesaw

Teaching the dog independent seesaw skills gives you the freedom to move to the next point, and, when the dog knows exactly what is expected of him and how to perform the seesaw safely without your help, safety increases.

So, August's training challenge is all about an independent seesaw. There are two exercises included.

Great news to all AgiNotes users, new and old! We have just launched a very nice filter that allows you to e.g. find the training sessions with a specific coach, check the stats according to a judge, place, a specific time frame, etc.

This training challenge represents the kind of exercises I prefer, as mentioned in the article “Less course running, more specific skill training - Tips for better training”. This exercise requires only a few obstacles and it includes several options for practicing.
