The order in which you teach a dog agility doesn't matter, but it can depending on age of the dog. Puppies. 3-10 Months - Usually start with the tunnel and chute. They also do jumps with no bar, so they just step over it. Lowered A-Frame and dogwalk, with supervision only. A fall can injure or kill a puppy. Also a tire jump with the tire all the way to the ground. Dogs older than that can do all that with jumps, tires, start on weaves, and full sized contact obstacles. (A-Frame, Dog Walk, Teeter).

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
What dog breeds are good for agility Not what they need to be agility dogs But good breeds for agility?
Herding breeds such as Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Corgis, Australian Kelpies, Queensland Heelers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and others have a *tendency* to have the traits that make good agility dogs: Eagerness to work, agility, speed, trainability. However, not all dogs of these breeds necessarily have these traits, and there are many other breeds where some or many of the individual dogs might have these traits. For example, many Papillons are amazing at agility, and so are some Poodles (of all sizes). Other working breeds might have some or all of those traits, such as Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Chesapeake bay retrievers, Springer Spaniels, and many others. Don't just get a dog for agility though, you need to be able to love it, even if it turns out hating agility. I have a dog agility course myself and a doberman she is still young so you must be very patient with your dog while doing the course.
Does anyone have a maltipoo that is really good at dog agility because i have one and i want to enter her into agility but i don't want to waste my time if she is not going to be any good?
I don't have a maltipoo but I have a friend who does. All dogs can become good at agility just some dogs need more training. They are very good energetic dogs. If you would like your dog to do some agility then you should be ready to put the time and energy in with it!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, Agility takes a lot of time and training. Check out a nearby agility trainer to see if you need to improve or work more.

How do you teach your dog agility?
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.
