We learned weaving a bit differently with an altered set of weave poles that can be splayed outwards, first with the poles splayed out at a wide angle and then gradually narrowed until the weave poles are 90 degrees. Always had fun with tunnel training. As always, a lot of great tips for beginners. Look at all those trophies along the wall!
Our dogs fenced yard- obstacle course: 2 sets of stairs, 7 large boulders, several trees, 9 bushes and a shed & a propane tank. There is a gate that allows us to have a closed area for them. They also have a small kiddie pool, they like cooling down after running around.
Warning, this video includes Best dog trainers ever.☺️👍 Nate, may i ask that Why my husky don't obey me sometimes? While we are walking, she comes when i call but sometimes just don't
Your dog will always do whatever is most motivating. For example, if you're trying to get your dog to perform a sit and he is surrounded by his favorite thing, let’s say rabbits, he's going to be more motivated to chase the rabbits compared to his motivation to work for your treat. It's important to keep in mind that dogs can be motivated by many things. They can be motivated to access something pleasant, they can be motivated to prevent something unpleasant, or the behavior itself is fun. By making sure that you always provide the most motivating factor for your dog, you will ensure reliability in your dog’s obedience. There are four ways you can motivate a dog to perform a behavior: You have food, toys, affection and force. It's important you learn to use all four types of motivation for your training. Another factor to keep in mind is that speed is based on motivation; the more motivated your dog is, the faster your dog will perform the desired behavior. Aside from the motivating factors, the next important element is your dog’s level of perseverance. Something that throws a lot of people off is when a dog has low perseverance and gives up when something seems too challenging. For example: you try to make your dog spin once in a circle for a treat-and he stops halfway through and gets demotivated. In these situations, you have to adjust for the dog’s individual level of perseverance. If they give up easily, you’ll need to reward the dog midway through their completion of the behavior until they learn to finish it all the way. Some dogs, however, have high perseverance and require less adjustment. As such, the dog will be easier to train.
Interesting. In our club we learn very different from that. First of all, we focus more on the contact with the handler, following the hand, different ways of changing the leading hand. When the dog understands the idea of the tunnel and the hurdle, we start running small courses and then add new obstacles. Also, for contact obstacles we learn the command "stop" when the dog stops with two paws on the contact zone. Anyway, it's really interesting to see other methods. May I ask why both dogs are wearing prong collars? I've never heard about any using of correction in agility training.
I was able to teach my dog to cross in between my legs while I was taking steps… without watching any videos.. I just thought and think maybe if I do this it will work and it worked. So I guess going through tunnels and hoop and stuff like that is just the same concept.
Also I need some potty train advice with my 2 Puppy Belgian malinois, we take them outside and they don’t use the restroom and as soon as they come back in they use the restroom and it’s getting pretty annoying
I so appreciate all the hard work of making and putting a “free video” up, however I would caution that YOU NEVER EVER train a dog with a pinch collar or choke chain on anything dangling from a dogs collar, even in the beginning stages of agility. It’s a safety issue. Having competed in agility for over 20 years all over the United States, this is the first thing we tell all students.
Please do not use these methods. Seek an experienced agility competitor and trainer. It is clear none of these people have any knowledge of agility. These approaches lead to unsafe technique for the dog and do not shape the correct physical awareness in the dog

Thanks! They are just having the dogs get used to wearing the collars. The puppies aren't being corrected by them yet.

Yes! :)
What’s your opinion on shock collars?
I talk about it in detail in my dog training manual. :) www.amazon.com/Nate-Schoemers-Dog-Training-Manual-ebook/dp/B07XRJJPQC
