Dog agility at home

Agility is a fun way to exercise a dog. Start small and keep it positive.

Starter equipment

A beginner set usually includes hurdles, a tunnel and weave poles.

Set up on soft, level ground and peg equipment down.

Begin with the lowest jump settings.

Check your dog's fitness first, especially for puppies and older dogs.

Keep sessions short and reward success.

Introduce one obstacle at a time and add more as your dog gains confidence.

Is agility suitable for puppies?

Puppies should avoid high jumps while their joints are developing. Use low obstacles and talk to your vet.

How long should sessions be?

Short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes keep dogs interested.

Do I need a lot of space?

A small garden is enough for a starter set.
