A lot of other pups and two-leggers have asked me about the foundation work Mum and I do for agility. So we thought it was about time we did a post about it.
Believe me, Mum and I are by no means experts in agility. We've only been competing for two years and training for two and a half years. We have been incredibly lucky - we chose something to do together that fits us like glue. We have always soaked up what was taught us like a sponge, applied skills we were taught, and we practice.
Be positive, all the time, every time. This is a fun time to spend with your pup, value and embrace it.
Use a clicker - it's one of the best ways to teach your pup.
Make training sessions short, don't overdue.
Never slow your dog down (Mum wishes she would have been taught this in the beginning).
Set your standards and make a plan to achieve your goal, no matter how small or large.
Never stop learning, 'cause learning is fun!
