Methods used
The type of training that will be used in the classes is positive reinforcement. If a dog finds something rewarding, it is more likely to repeat it. At one time, there were only conventional/compulsive types of training methods which generally worked by dominating the dog into doing what the owner wanted. As times have moved on, we have found that with positive reinforcement, we can actually give our dog a choice. Our job is to convince him that if he makes the right choice, he will be rewarded! Its as simple as that!
This clearly gives a better relationship than before with our dogs.
Worming and vaccination
Please make sure that your vaccination certificate is up to date and that your dog has been wormed. Please get worming medication from your vet. Although more expensive than in the shops it is more effective. It is also a advisable to have an up to date kennel cough vaccination to ensure you dog will remain in the peak of health.
Equipment
Choke chains (check chains) are not allowed during the agility classes. Recent studies have shown that not only can they damage the dogs neck, but they also cause physiological problems and aggression in some dogs.
Please use a broad flat collar, together with a reasonably long lead. (3-4ft long)
Treats
From now until the next class please find out what really motivates your dog. The best option is a treat, or could be a favourite toy. Fresh chicken, cheese, sausages or liver usually work very well and although sound extravagant, usually cost less than commercial treats. (Only a very tiny piece of food is used and the tit-bits need be no larger than 1/2 cm square) Only use these special rewards for training.
Toys
We use a variety of methods to motivate your dog in the classes. If your dog is not particularly treat orientated then being along his/her favourite toy to play with and use than as a reward instead. Fleece tuggy toys are great for agility available from the club shop.
Feeding your dog
Bear in mind that we want your dog to work well for the treats you use in class, so if he has just had lunch/super, hes not going to work as well as he could.
Feed him within 3-4 hours prior to the class. On a full stomach the dog will not be very comfortable running round and there is also the chance that a full stomach can twist which we definitely dont want!
