Where can you get cheap dog agility equipment from in the UK my budget is around 150 pounds?
go to scampers or pets at home
not necessarily, but i would not give treats IN the house... bring them outside and as she is going to the bathroom (outside) give her the treat. This was she associates the treat with the OUTdoors potty break, and not going INdoors. There is never anything wrong with giving your pets treats, unless it's right after they do something wrong. Giving your pet a treat "just because you love them" is just as good as giving them a treat for saving an orphan from a burning building. Dogs usually only associate food rewards with events in the immediate past, so in the dog's mind he may think you are rewarding him for coming back into the house. In anticipation of getting the reward, he MIGHT start coming back to the house before he's ready, in other words, before he's finished his "business." I would just praise the dog while he's in the act of relieving himself, and save the food rewards for teaching tricks or something he does not ordinarily do on a routine basis. Give praise every time, and only an occasional treat. (You still want the dog to obey you on occasions when you have no treats handy, right?) answer well sorda if you give it to them all the timeit will think that he can just grab one any second and maybe start getiing spoiled if her rarely does it and he does do IT then he needs a treat but if he usually does just every once in a while

However, they can still be trained for tracking activities, especially in recreational settings, as they enjoy using their keen sense of smell and exploring their environment.

How do you teach a dumb dog to fetch?
Usually a dog will figure it out with repetition. If you keep throwing a ball it may initially just pick it up off of the ground to bring it back but as it's fetching skills improve it will likely start to try and catch it out of the air. Of course it all depends on the dog breed and the dogs athletic abilities. The more you play fetch with a dog the better they will get at it. Some dog breeds have no instinct or desire to chase or catch anything. Huskies are a good example of this. Most of them will sit and look at you as if to say "you go get it; I'm not going to bother!". Their instinct is to run, not fetch. A Retriever will typically be very good at catching things and bringing them back to you; it is their instinct.
