Bambi92 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi all how are we? AS The title says I'm so proud of my baby girl and am now going to invest in some agility equipment. We went to a pet festival on the weekend and for a small donation to the rescue group Sasha could try the little agility course that was there they had ham and chicken as the treats for doing it but Sasha did it all except the tunnel for no treats just a good girl and a big pat at the end I really didn't think she would do it all let alone without wanting a treat afterwards. Sasha even did the see saw thing she hates things that move yet she did I'm so damn proud of her I gave her the biggest cuddles when she did it and she loved it that much she wanted to do it again I'm going to either buy or build an agility course for her and the bonus is I'll get exercise out of it as well haha Any suggestions on what to start with would I be better off buying it or building something? Does any one do agility with there dogs? If so what do you do and where did you start? Thanks for any help in advance:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyka&Diva Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 We started off with a broom and 2 garden chairs to get my girl jumping but im now lucky enough to have unlimited use of a proper agilty course at my local rescue centre. I don't see any harm in buying a set there are some great set available for sale xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha hates brooms runs with her tail between her legs as soon as she sees one We took her to Paws In The Park the weekend before last and they had a fly ball comp on wouldn't mind trying that with her but I don't think she would do it she watched them while the dogs were doing it she gets distracted easily though.

mydiamond Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi Laura welcome home that's a massive achievement I know how some dogs... *cough* Diamond *cough*... refuse to jump over obstacles just because it's new to them. Yet you said Sasha is even brave enough to try the see-saw! WOW don't forget to share a video if you have time how are you and the family btw?

I hope she will do it at home fingers crossed going to see how much money I have left next week and start buying stuff to make things can't afford to buy the equipment its expensive! Were all good now little man is getting heaps big now it goes by so fast he's already 3months old and at last weigh in 2weeks ago was 7.3kgs (not sure what that is for everyone else) he's learning soo much so quickly too its crazy!.

crazeediamonds Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Just some ideas for you. Hula hoop to jump through, childs tunnel maybe cheaper than a dogs tunnel, handle off the broom and chairs or a long tree branch, sticks set in the ground for weaving, barrel and a plank of wood for seesaw (screw plank to barrel). Some items ie tunnel second hand ebay etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
