AGILITY

Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Dogs run off-leash with no food or toys as incentives, and the handler can touch neither dog nor obstacles. Consequently the handler's controls are limited to voice, movement, and various body signals, requiring exceptional training of the animal and coordination of the handler.

In its simplest form, an agility course consists of a set of standard obstacles laid out by a judge in a design of his or her own choosing in an area of a specified size. The surface may be of grass, dirt, rubber, or special matting. Depending on the type of competition, the obstacles may be marked with numbers indicating the order in which they must be completed. Courses are complicated enough that a dog could not complete them correctly without human direction. In competition, the handler must assess the course, decide on handling strategies, and direct the dog through the course, with precision and speed equally important. Many strategies exist to compensate for the inherent difference in human and dog speeds and the strengths and weaknesses of the various dogs and handlers.Dogs love any form of cooperation with a human. Agility provides them with a reasonable amount of physical activity

 

and is a great opportunity to establish a strong bond between dogs and their owners. Jumping, running and learning new commands is a major attraction for many dogs. It is commonly believed that the best dogs for the sport are Border Collie, but Chinese Crested Dogs also do very well on the track, and are very docile which makes it easy for them to learn how to overcome various obstacles. Our adventure with Agility began in March 2 years ago, when we found out by accident, that in our city will be formed an Agility Club, and it will be held classes for beginners!

Due to the low temperature, the dog had to overcome track in a special suit which caused a smile on the faces of many people. Little, hairless Chinese Crested little in training in training is admired among the Audience. People find it difficult to believe that such a little dog with an exotic look rages on the track and is overcoming tough obstacles such as slalom without any difficulties.

Regular trainings have become very good fun for us and for our dog. In June 2011 with an internal examination,  Ruletka

 completed a course for beginners, and had her competition debut in Lodz 05.05.2012r
