ANSWER: I'm glad to help. I think it's great that you're doing training with your pup. At this age, he's like a little sponge - perfect for soaking up everything you can teach him. Good luck with your training.

QUESTION: Hehe he's just great!I'm thinking of setting up a agility course in my back yard seeing that I have a lot of space - I checked on google all the equipment and maybe I can fit 3 things in my yard. Any thought on which of the objects would be much more challenging for my dogs. I've got 2 jack russels (HIGH energy!!) and 1 dobermen pincher mix and another pure bred doberman pincher and a rot/lab mix.
IF you're familiar with agility training and what would benefit them all, I would SO appreciate any info.
Thank you ****
AnswerAgility would be great for your dogs, but wait until the GSD is full grown before doing any jumping with him. The best way to learn is to find a class in your area. Go watch and be sure the dogs looks happy and the training methods are positive. Before you invest in equipment, try it out for a while. Tunnels are always fun for dogs. Jumps can be made from PVC pipe. You can probably fashion a basic teeter board without too much investment. Search for plans for making your own equipment. Have fun!
