Actually the wobble cushion is a good idea. I have one for myself but I think I’ll start getting my dog on that this week as my agility trainer is introduce the seesaw next lesson. (Thank you) your tips and hints are amazing.

Thank you so much! Very helpful exercises.

Great video! I’m getting a new puppy soon and want to train him for agility. Thank you for this it’s perfect.

Thank you I have been looking for something like this for my BC. Beth

Thanks for video!

Nice job introducing helpful agility foundations exercises. Training goes so much smoother with these behaviors in place.

This is the best agility introduction training video I’ve found. Want to get my two year old border collie mix in agility, she’s so fast!

That's great to hear! Border collies are great for agility, they are so clever and fast!

Very clear!

My new puppy that can’t yet do obstacles because he is to young really enjoyed this early agility also demonstrated by my older award winning agility dog so thank you this really helped 😊

I’ve got a little mixed breed shelter pup that is smarter than me and teaching himself things (he accidentally learned to sit on command just from watching my parents’ dogs, he fetched the first time I threw something for him, etc). This is really helpful to have somewhere to go with him, because he certainly wants to learn.

Aloha! Mahalo for this video! Just got a 4month old ChiPin when I noticed she is so agile! She made her own game, running, jumping and carrying her toy and ball and throwing and fetching it herself haha. I thought she's a good candidate for this training! So I found your video and started using some basic trainings right away and she caught on straight away! Coming to her name, solid Stay, Touch, Mark (well she thinks it's a toy) but we'll get there! Thanks for the fun foundational tips! I look forward to continued progression!

I have a 3 1/2 month old Aussie pup who is gobbling up all the training I can give her. :) She has a solid "Wait" and "Touch," so we're excited to start learning the other things you showed us. Thank you, Beth!

That’s great! They are a great breed that loves to learn and work, sounds like you are off to a great start!

Yes, helpful. I startedbmy 4.5 yr old corgi in agility. It was obvious that we had some basic skills to master. Tonight was 3rd class. We did good. But this is helpful to give us some ground work, before next class.

Great video thanks.

That's so exciting, have fun with the new pup!

I have an ESS that I am doing agility with too!

My volume control is half way and l heard you perfectly 👍. Thank you so much for this video. We have a 12 week old Catahoula, and he is already in need of serious physical and thinking exercises. . He is a very smart dog. He knows all his basic commands, makes up his own games and loves to herd the chickens when it’s time to put them back in the coop. We live very remotely here in the Far North of New Zealand so we don’t have access to a club, as our closest is 2 hours away. For those living further it’s more like 4-5 hours. Some of us ladies are keen to start our own Amateur agility club to keep our dogs active and engaged. Your video is a great start for us to learn the basics, so thanks again.

Hi, that's good to hear. Wow, 2 hours is quite a journey for regular training, hopefully you are able to start something exciting nearer to you!

Awesome video Beth. Am wanting to teach an Intro to Agility course (6 weeks long) on the basics. Our local dog club only has jumps and a fabric tunnel at the moment, so we would be referring on to other Agility places once they get the basics down. I know it's all about the path. You wouldn't happen to have any outline to present to the board would you? I plan to incorporate this video if you wouldn't mind. Have also watched The Doggie Dojo and Susan Garrett. Even I travel over an hour to get to an Agility class. And of course they fill up fast so the more legwork we can give our students to progress, the better. Love that this video shows what you can do at home without equipment too!

I'm excited to try these tips! & I'm also IN LOVE with your dogs names!!! (HP related, I hope!)

Of course they are HP related! Haha! The newest addition is called Lilly!

Great work! I really enjoyed watching this. We have started flat work with our puppy who's 9 months old and I am practicing at home/garden with her. How old is Luna? She is doing very well! :)

This was excellent, thanks so much! I have a 5-mo old Chihuahua and I think she'd love agility. She already knows some of these commands either slightly or very well, so I'll get working on them with her so she'll be ready to start training when it's time

Very good video TY. Please increase the native volume of the sound track - hard to hear on an iPad.

I am hoping to film an updated video soon with better vocals so you can hear me better 😀

My 14 yr old daughter loves trying to get our dog to do things, now she can learn how to teach foundational behaviours and have more success! Thanks!

hahaah when your other dog wanders off in seeming disgust as you reward Luna for her pivot on the wash tub! I definitely find it hard to train my two simultaneously, as one is much older (14) but still wants very much to participate, and they both get annoyed at each other if they see the other one working! I usually have to crate one in a different room with the door closed so he/she doesn't hear all the clicking and praising and treat-giving!

Would you use bottom sit in place of target if thats what ive been training with mine?

Yes you don't need to buy a lot of equipment. I did the same thing , you did some different one , that I will try to do( balancing). Great job to you and your helpers

Hi! I'm so glad you found this useful, we have restarted the channel and hope to bring a new video every week!

I am sure i'd love this but the volumme is too low for me at this time. I'll figure out something.

My 9 lb Shi-Poo's neck is too fragile for the collar hold. I'd probably hold on with a harness. My mom's dog could stand it though. She's a tough little ball of fire.

I didn't understand the self control. You hold the treat till he back of and then give it to him?

My d0g doesnt have a favorite toy. She’s not always interested in treats even liver or chicken.

Couldn't watched past 6 ish, with that much tension on her collar and neck. I have a chihuahua so that's a recipe for collapsed trachea.

I agree, I felt really uncomfortable seeing the handler use the dogs collar so much. A simple Sit & Stay would be much more impressive!

I couldn't hear you

My volume is all the way UP and I still cannot hear, sadly.

Very poor quality sound!!!!
