What is an agility run?
An agility run, is also known as an agility 'trial'. This requires a dog, a handler, and an open space for the trial. Once you get a command- the handler must send his/her dog over a variety of obstacles, such as: The A-frame, 3 or 4 jumps, the Dog-Walk, the Tire Jump, the Weave Poles, the Schute, the Tunnel, and the Paws Table. The Paws Table and the Weave Poles are the hardest for a dog to learn, the Paws Table is when a dog must sit on it for 5 seconds and have a command to be let of. The Weave Poles are when a dog has 6 poles, 2 feet/24 inches apart, and must weave them. My 2 dogs do agility!

PVC pipe is the best material for dog agility equipment-making. You can find it for cheap at you local hardware store.

You can also find some agility obstacles for small dogs (chute, jump, tire, and weave poles) at Toys 'R' Us. Have fun!

How do you teach your dog the weave poles?
The dog needs to enter the poles with the left shoulder after the first pole. There are multiple ways to teach this, including wire connector chutes, pole chutes, luring, etc. I recommend joining an agility club to teach it correctly, but I think the pole chutes work best. This involves slowly moving the poles closer and closer together until they form a straight line.

What agility equipment should you train a puppy to use first?
You should not work the jumps with a puppy under 1 1/2 years old. If your puppy is under a year old they shouldn't be in lessons. Playing around with the tunnel, chute, and weave poles should be okay. Don't expect to much of your puppy. Puppies have short attention spans and their plates have not fused yet so they can not withstand jumping high and the landing impaction. You should get your puppy X-rayed when they are 1 1/2 years old to make sure that their plates have fused before starting agility lessons. If you over work your puppy and make them jump around to much you will hurt them, permanently. What you can do is, like I said before, just play around with the tunnel, chute, and weave poles. Treat it like a fun game, not a serious sport that you must get right. You can start the serious stuff when your puppy has matured. Maddie Moo's experience: I teach dog agility lessons
