This should be done only in close consultation with your veterinarian. Agility training is a highly athletic sport, so in most instances the answer would be no.
Yes, Like all competitions they tend to have prizes like $100 dollars or a years worth of dog food with the occcaisional trophy, but it depends where you live, because if it is in a bad area that is low and kind of bad like kentucky, then it might be something else, but if it was a statewide or a nationwide competition for Agility, then money in events are possible
One may find agility equipment at Affordable Agility and Max 2000. They different sizes and types that suit any dog's owner's needs for this equipment.
Start with a chair and your dog on a down. If the chair is the correct height, he will not be able to stand under it. If you have a very small dog, find something else that is just a little higher than your dog when he is lying down to work with. Lure his nose under the chair with a treat. Let him nibble the treat but do not let him have the whole thing. Say, "crawl," and slowly draw the treat forward. He will have to crawl forward in order to keep nibbling the treat. When he'll willingly crawl under the chair for a treat without being lured anymore, you can stop using the chair. If he forgets to crawl, simply go back to using the chair a few more times to remind him what "crawl" means.
There is such a wide selection of dog agility equipment, where do I begin? There are several factors to consider when making your agility equipment purchases. Two major factors are your goals and your dog. Are your goals to develop a deeper bonding with your dog by taking agility classes together, having fun, and seeing how far you and your dog can progress with agility skills? Do you have a timid dog and want to develop confidence in him? Or do you have a high drive dog and want to help him burn energy in a controlled manner? Do you want to do agility as a just for fun activity or are you setting your sights on making it to the nationals and becoming an agility instructor? All the previous factors are important to consider when purchasing your equipment.
Some people may look at canine agility training as something that is only beneficial if they are going to "show" their dog in a competition. While this is often the case, this isn't an exclusive circumstance. In fact, there are many good reasons for you to enroll your dog in a canine agility training class or seminar that go well beyond a simplistic show. For example, dogs love to get out and run. While most people understand this, they don't present dogs with the types of obstacles they need to get the most out of their exercise. Canine agility training allows dogs to have fun while they exercise.
