Agility Dog Training—An Exciting New Experience For You And Your Dog

Agility dog training is all about building a bond between dog and owner. This section focuses on all aspects of the training, with a particular focus on positive training methods. You'll also find information about using video to better learn about the ins and outs of training and how to help your dog conquer the agility courses.

The experts will tell you that agility training for dogs has many benefits, chief among them improving your ability to communicate with your dog. Not only will this strengthen the bond you share, it can help to improve your skills at dog training on every level, not just agility. You'll find that the skills you learn in agility training can be applied to teaching standard commands or participating in other activities such as playing Frisbee or fetch.

Not only does agility provide good physical exercise for both you and your dog, it also helps to stimulate your dog's mental skills by requiring him to listen and obey commands as well as work his way through the course. This is extremely important as a dog that lacks mental stimulation is likely to become bored and that boredom is what breeds bad behavior. So the skills your pet picks up in agility dog training can have a positive effect on his overall behavior.
