Agility dog training is currently a fast growing  sport for dogs. This young dog sport is fun for both the dogs and their  owners.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  A small piece of history about Dog Training&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Agility training for dogs started sometime in the late 1970s in  England, where it somewhat copied horse show jumping. Both agility  training for dogs and horse jumping build a strong bond between the  owner and the animal. They also help to develop strategy and teamwork.  You win an agility event with your dog by completing the course in the  fastest time with the fewest number of faults. It is very similar again  to horse jumping when the horse knocks down one of the poles of the  fence.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Positive Benefits for Dogs&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Another benefit of agility training for dogs is the mental effect it  has on shy dogs and owners. Both often show a renewed confidence after  successfully negotiating an agility obstacle course. Many dogs improve  their coordination dramatically by completing the basic training  exercises used to teach jumping and ramp work.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  For those hyperactive dogs, agility training provides them with a  method of releasing some of that extra energy in a positive manner. The  mental workout for the dog is often greater for the dog than the  physical one. The teamwork that the sport builds between the owner and  the animal builds a level of communication between the two that is very  similar to how humans communicate.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  To make a great team in agility training, both your dog and yourself  must be perfectly synced, because there is no leash or collar allowed  on an agility course. There is a big variation in the order of  obstacles on each course and the pathway twists and turns, so the dog  has to lean a whole new vocabulary in order to be successful in this  kind of events.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Young dogs&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  You can start your puppie training with regular walks in the agility  courses as early as when they are 4 months. If they are older, it is  recommended conditioning walks of two miles or longer. It is a good  advice not to rush your dog to go through the obstacles, as they can  injure themselves in the event they fall from an a-frame or a dog walk.  Usually, ramps have cross-laths to help with traction when the dog  sprints up the ramp.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  In the event your dog who is afraid of heights (maybe yours is or maybe  you are), the owner will coax through the uncertainty and by doing so  will help his dog and himself.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Good Luck in agility training your dog!&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;font-style: italic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  			About the Author:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  		&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;Before starting any dog training program, make sure you check Francisco Cabrera's articles regarding &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.mydeardog.com/&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dog training&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; for all &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.mydeardog.com/&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;dogs breed&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; and find expert &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.mydeardog.com/&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;dog&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; news and sources of information. &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;" text="&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;As well as for humans, agility dog trainig makes your pet more  confident, increases its speed and its physical flexibility while helps  excercise its feet.
