Yorkie agility course - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello

Does anyone know of a Yorkie owner that has done an agility course with their Yorkie? I know that my Bailey is as quick as a rabbit when he has the room to run, so I thought an agility course would be a cool thing. I am a bit over the age to start this myself, but thought I'd put it out there to see if someone else has done this. Cheers!

I plan to. These little dogs seem to love the work they are doing. I would love to discover different ways people have came up with tricks or supplies.

I am saving the liter sodas so my babies can weave through them. Im going to also use pvc pipes to connect them for jumping over.

Yes we do.

Haven't competed or anything yet, but we're on our 4th agility class. It's sooo much fun. Love it. We really do it because 1, Jackson looovesss it. He really thrives during class and I love to see him so happy. It's just great bonding time. It's also fun for me to get some exercise in the process.

Yes, you've got it right. "they seem to love the work..." I had to lol when I read
"liter of sodas" for the weave... but that's the exact size they would need

Are you going to fill them with something to make them heavy?

My mentor does agility with her yorkies, infact just recently she was at an agility show and her male came 2nd (he´s 3 years old).I have seen her yorkies in action, I have been with her to a few of these shows, and there were dogs quite a bit smaller than her yorkies there too (chihuahuas) and they all LOVED it

I recomend.The dogs get TONS of exersize and they really enjoy it
