What makes agility fun for your dog? Do they participate to win ribbons, to get Qs, to complete the course perfectly??? I would argue that it’s up to you to make agility fun for your dog and keep it fun. I think the human often does agility to see how well they can do, but the dog doesn’t think that way. Different dogs require different motivation and I honestly think that 100% of dogs that learn to do agility well have some type of external motivation! Their handlers learn how to motivate and connect with them using physical touch, words of praise, play, toys, and/or treats. True that sometimes it appears when you watch that some people don’t “reward” the dog, but in fact the relationship and communication is built and great handlers continue to uplift and connect with their dogs in ways their dogs appreciate. Sometimes creating motivation for the dog takes a lot of human effort and work, but if you take it away the dog will not do well. I hope this makes sense and I hope it encourages you to keep trying! Remember- you always have your voice. See how your dog responds to a happy upbeat tone… it can go a long way!

Excellent advice! Train the dog to focus when the leash comes off! It doesn’t come naturally- you have to work at it and build the relationship and expectations!

I want you to think of something you've accomplished in agility that you're proud of. Whether its something you planned and worked for, or something unexpectedly pleasant! Don't think of all the things you CAN'T do and how your dog isn't PERFECT. If you have an accomplishment or goal to share of something you've gained with your dog through agility feel free to share it here, or else just take a moment to reflect on it and enjoy!

I will share something I'm proud of with my puppy Nugget. At our Rally class which we have been going to (a sport that I know almost nothing about and am extremely beginner at!) - someone there commented that the bond that I have with my dog and the focus he has is beautiful! In the midst of learning a brand new thing and definitely being the worst team in the class, I was super proud! Do we know the skills yet - NOPE. Are we going to spend time practicing and learning - YES. But something I was very focused on with Nugget is gaining a good connection and focus and also working on self control and we put a ton of effort into that at first (and continue to do so). So now we have something great to work with going forward! That work also has paid off huge when starting some agility training with him. He has great focus and is ready to listen to directions and learn. What a good boy!
