To increase the agility of your dog, you require to harness the
skills of your dog through rigorous training. Dog training for
increasing the agility, is pretty same for almost all breeds of
dogs only difference being the activeness of each individual
dog. Contests are also based on the size and capabilities of the
dogs. A number of dogs take part in such contests and compete
with each other to show their skills. Dog agility training not
only prepares the dog for the simple contests but even for the
more difficult ones like hurdle race also.

The concept of horse training and competitions inspired the pet
owners to get something similar for the dogs as well.
Competition for dogs includes hurdle racing, wall jump, tire
jumping and many more. The contests are designed in such a way
that the dog completes various drills on the command of the
trainer, and whoever finishes the drills fastest is the winner.
Well the most difficult part has to be the 100-foot square
course; here hurdles are placed across the course making it
difficult for the dogs to move fast. In such competitions crowd
enjoy and greet the winner with flowers (for trainer/owner) and
dog food for dog.

A dog can be trained on the hurdle course by training him
initially on one hurdle, by the time he gets used to jumping
over one hurdle, many more could be placed on the running track
of the dog. Care must be taken not to over exert on the training
sessions, as long training sessions can even make your pet
confused on the day of competition, he will expect the same long
session and might not do good in small time bound contest.

Dull dog is a Sad Dog

Dog trainer is not the dog's owner and dog will perform on the
command of his trainer. Trainer is one who has developed agility
of the dog by providing adequate training. Dog under the command
of trainer will perform the given task as trained. The nature of
the dog also, in a way, shapes its chances to win any contest;
an introvert dog may feel nervous in the presence of large
crowd. Hence, these things are to be taken into account by the
trainer while training the dog.

Trainer must gauge the ability and skills of the dog accurately
to shape its flexibility and agility accordingly. There should
be good communication and comfort level between dog and trainer
so that both understand what they want to do. In the contests
the trainer is allowed only to give commands and not touch the
dog, making communication more important. For more info see on

Training School.

The contest is reviewed by experts and performances rated as
per the parameters set. Dog is trained to finish the course
speedily and on time. The dog finishing with the lowest time is
adjudged the winner.

It doesn't really matter the breed of the dog when talking
about the developing of conditional instincts: since Pavlov made
this Nobel worthy discovery, special trainers have used repeated
behaviors to determine the dog to understand and to comply by
giving rewards.
