| Dixie doing agility Here's a wee video of Dixie doing agility. it's at the end of the training session which is why she looks like she's taking her sweet time after the chute! There's nothing tricky in this circuit. We're just going round in a circle but it's quite neat to see Dixie fly through the tyre and over the long jump.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Dixie is doing a great job, looks like she enjoys agility. Thanks for sharing the video. How long have you and Dixie been doing agility? I've recently become interested in this sport and am going to see about getting Reno started soon.

| Good job Dixie. thanks for sharing. I've never seen agility. I've thought about have Hot Rod do it. It looks like fun.

| That is absolutely the sweetest thing ever! She looks so happy!!! Do you train her yourself or pay a trainer? If you take her to training and pay, can I ask if its super expensive? I think that would be great for my Charlie. He has MILES of extra energy (and lacks a little focus). Thanks!!! |

| We've been doing agility for about two years. We've taken our time getting to where we are but it's about having fun. Agility is a super way to develop a relationship with your dog because you have to work together. I've learnt so much about Dixie's personality through training that I don't think I would have got just hanging out with her.

I love training my dogs because it's about working together to build a relationship. Dixie's gained so much more confidence. Also for myself I'm much more likely to go for that walk when it's cold or raining because I know I've got to keep their fitness up. Before you start agility training it's important to have a good sit, down, wait, and that they can walk near you on a loose lead - paying attention to you. I found agility training is a great way to learn how to relate to your dog.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Oh, NO! I'm on vacation and can't access the video. The hotel has a computer center, but it doesn't have the right software. That does it. I'm heading home early! OK, maybe not that, but I won't sleep until I find a way to view it. I've been asking for this vid for a year now.
