Find Out About Purchasing Yourself Some Dog Training Books, They Could Really Be Quite Helpful
Recommended Answer:
See if a local trainer will let you barter for lessons. Babysit. Clean house. Yard work. Clean kennels. Groom dogs. Exercise or walk dogs. Housesit. Help build courses. Dog trainers & active competitors lead quite busy lives & often have a full-time job &/or a family to care for also. Never enough hours in the day to get everything done. I know I have bartered for lessons or practice time on course myself. Give it a try. You might be able to strike a deal that benefits you both. Good Luck!
Dog Training Methods - Methods Used in Pofessional Training Classes
- I plan to try it too soon, ive just been getting him to do bigger jumps over walls, under fallen tree and rivers.
Then i plan to use old bamboo sticks and sting to make up obstacles in a farmers field or any spare land i see, just ask if i can use it.
I no nothing about it, but i just improvise, you could do the same.
You just need a way to motivate the dog to do what you want before they start enjoying it.
Im using touch command, you train the dog to touch nudge your hand for a reward, get them to follow your hand or a stick first, then it seems obvious from there, so long as you have basic commands mastered.
You can watch utube videos, but sometimes its more fun to guess how your dog thinks, what motivates it make up you own rules, as every dog is different like every owner. - The very first practice jumps I had were just broom handles propped up on buckets. You could also use bricks, boxes, etc. If you don't have a yard, bring it all to the park. We do go to a practice facility (which costs money), but I usually take our equipment to the park to practice once a week as well. I have a backyard, but it's really small, so there's not much room to set up an agility course. So, we go to the park.
You can buy an inexpensive kids play tunnel for the tunnel. About $20-$25. You can find some good deals on tunnels and other agility equipment on Ebay.
You can make inexpensive weaves with PVC pipe. If you just stick poles in the ground, they're only like $1.20 or something like that for precut 2" PVC pipe pieces at Home Depot. Six poles are the standard number to use. We have ours fully connected together with a PVC base, so it's moveable, I think I only paid $15 for all the PVC pieces and connectors. - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_train…
Try this - go to a local park.
