| Now you look like a
handler you can start training. First you need to learn to run. This isn't
easy if the last time you ran was when you were forced to do P.E. at school. Next
you have to add a little lunacy. You have to learn to shout commands and wave your
arms whilst running. Practice on your own while you're out jogging. This won't upset
the dog and it will interest the neighbours. Now that you are hoarse and your arms
are too tired to flap you are ready to start training your dog. The best way to learn is to find a good trainer. If you don't know anyone in your area who gives lessons have a look at the A to Z of clubs on Agility net. This is a very useful page that gives information about various clubs around the country. You can also look in Yellow Pages for dog trainers and see if any of the people listed there can help you. If you're really stuck, or perhaps too shy to go asking strangers, send me an email and I'll post on the agility forum for you. Agility folk are very friendly and always willing to help. Good luck and happy jumping. |
