Winter Canine Agility Training

Yes, its cold outside, but never avoid your favorite dog's agility training. Based on where you are living, there might be snow on the ground from November through March, but thats no reason to give up your agility training. Bring your training indoors, right at your own home.

Get creative with your training locations. Do you have a hallway, basement, or shed? In that case there is a area to train! Just before it snows and your paraphernalia is frozen to the ground, stash some in your own garage, shed, basement, or put a tarp over it. Bring in one piece of equipment at a time, and begin your indoor training.

We do a lot of indoor training with a Pause Table. In fact, all of us maintain one in our living room for both obedience training and agility training all the time. The Pause Table is a great obstacle for developing your obedience behaviors and teaching agility directional instructions

Don't neglect to work on your connections. It is hassle-free just by engaging some Contact Coach indoors. A good solid 3-Piece Contact Coach grants you versatility; anyone have a good A-frame side, the Pause Table, and a Dog-walk plank. Exercising your two feet on and two feet off can be easy and quick when you have got indoor contacts, only a couple of minutes a day for you to steady your dog's obedience exercise.

Indoor jumping must be approached carefully. In the event you don't posses indoor matting, do not jump. You don't need the pup jumping on concrete and even wooden flooring. However, utilize the uprights in addition posts to exercise your handling. Use your Sit-stay or sometimes Down-stay and train your lines or dogs path with no jump bars.

Weaves might be trained indoors. Are you training with a weave-chute or straight line weaves? Five minutes each day of weave training all the way through out the winter will have the pup weaving smoothly by springtime. You can practice weave entries and weave sends or weave recalls.

Presently there is also a vast array of mini agilityequipment that could be purchased, and don't need the similar space as standard equipment. There are mini-teeters, mini-dog walks, and mini-A-frames. These are great obstacles for puppy training or indoor winter training.

So, during the icy wintry weather months, you should not give up on your agility training. Whether you are starting a young pup, working a novice pet dog, or an experienced titled pet dog there is always something that you may perform indoors with your agility exercises.
