Thank you for showing these! I really appreciate seeing the not so perfect runs. Im starting agility classes with my dog and its nice to see that not all runs will be perfect but its a learning process
Thank you for this video, most of the ones I see the handlers and dogs are pretty much perfect. We have had classes and even though my dogs are doing well it still made me think maybe competition would never be for me but after watching your video I see that even if the "team" isnt perfect they can still compete at the lower levels and have fun....I have been looking into the ACT competitions and they sound like good places to begin. Thanks again
I felt the same way Tim! It’s always interesting to see where people start vs the best of the best on TV. I would definitely get out there in Novice just to do a trial run and you never know, you could just qualify
I recently adopted a lab/Corgi and think that he'd LOVE this! Do you have advice on how to get started? We're working on weaving at home, but it'd just be for fun--not looking to get to the big leagues or anything (yet)!
Yeah, I would look up AKC clubs on their website and join one of the agility classes, you’ll have an expert teach you how to teach your dog and make sure that they’re safe on the courses.
Wow that was a lot more exciting and amusing than I expected! Man, some of those dogs with high drive also have such incredibly high speed too! Seems that the fastest pups tended to be the most eager, but also lost focus and tended to want to try and predict what they were supposed to do next vs taking instruction. Can you explain the pauses? It seems like some of the dogs had to stop on the downward section of that raised bridge on the far right side, meanwhile others just blazed on by. Mr Mugs looked like a floofy cloud on speed navigating thru that course hahahaha. I'll admit, that your friend's corso at the end sure impressed me with their start when they flew out of the gate with such a burst of confidence just blazing up that ramp! I look forward to more videos like this! Thanks for sharing!
I believe most of the pauses are taught so the owner can direct the dog to the next part of the course. So they don’t run the whole course wherever they want and their excitement is rained in. There is an official pause that is required at the table. They must remain on the platform for an official timed five seconds until the judge says to proceed. I will ask about the pauses though and see if I get a different response. A corso just had a very high accomplishment in agility at the nationals a few months ago so hopefully I can get that covered.
We were also taught that the pause can help get them under control for the next obstacle but also the pause teaches them to make sure they actually touch the yellow...it is a fault if they dont touch the yellow entering and leaving the ramp/teeter/walk. The table is a required pause
@@Dogdayshomestead Also the dog must put at least 1 paw in the yellow area of the "contact" obstacles, i.e. dog walk, a-frame and teeter. Teaching the dog a stopped contact ensures that the dog will go all the way to the bottom of the obstacle.
No idea why but I read "AKC NAVEL TRIALS: AKC Agility Novice Trial Runs ", I envisioned dogs running on ships. The big english sheep dog that's a big boy with all the fur I thought he may struggle alas no he did well just like the corso. If I ever get time I gotta get my little boston into this, did you all make your own little course? Sorry if it's a noob question just barely keeping up with work much less videos.
You likely need a training club to practice at. LOL at navel trials, dogs on ships would be pretty awesome. The sheep dog was awesome to watch, the weaves are much harder for the big dogs so they usually struggle there but it’s amazing to see them on the platform high up and the teeter totter as those are not big platforms and the big dogs typically can fall off with a wrong step. I do hear you on barely keeping up, in the same boat over here.
The dogs look like they had a blast, the Old English was hilarious, and when the Australian went over to talk to the guy, he's like hey what you doing, good video though, you can see how much work goes into these trials, you can see how hard the dogs are trying.
It’s truly an art form, definitely one of the more challenging dog sports to master! I absolutely love watching the old English sheep dog too! I can’t believe it fits through the weaves, I was impressed.
I use to have a border collie and she looked and acted so much like that first one in the video, but her hair was short. I did novice agility with her but she never had the heart for it, she was as fast and a bit more accurate than the one in the video here, but she just didn't love it, so I never tried competing with her. I'll be getting a Golden Retriever puppy very soon and fingers crossed he will thrive in the sport!
Yeah I hear you! The dog has to love it too or it is just not the same. I find they usually love at least one of the sports but sometimes not the ones you like either lol!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your new pup too!!!!
Strange to hear. Border collies are probably the best agility dogs going on the smaller stuff. If your heart isn't in it the dog will know and will also be out of sorts. If your competitive spirit was up and you were very obvious with it the dog would have followed like a steam train but it is up to you to lead and almost demand the dog get into it. Otherwise a stalemate will occur as happened in this case. Your dog will buy your ambition like a half price sale if your requirements are set in stone.
Yay, this was so fun! Love seeing the show stuff, weather it be conformation, obedience, agility, whatever. Always interesting and enjoyable to watch. It would be cool to see one of your girls compete in this, I feel like they could have some real potential for it :) Also, curious to know if you have checked out the email I sent you about raw yet? If so, was it at all helpful?
Hey Lizarr! Yes I also enjoy it and am surprised how much fun it is to actually do it! Phoenix apparently scored very high in Rally so she got invited to the nationals this summer. Waiting to see if we are one of the lucky people to get drawn to attend. Yes I would love to try agility. It takes a big time commitment at the training club so hopefully in a year or two when my daughter is a little older. Yes, your email is awesome and I really appreciate the information. I have been going through that and another site, raw fed and nerdy material. We have a trip coming up so I realized a sight glitch in my plans! If I am away how can my sitter feed raw for three corsos if she doesn’t have a deep freezer 🤷♀️ so starting the transition after the trip but may need to keep some kibble so they eat it when we are away? I’m definitely an over thinker so it will take me a bit longer to plan it out than most.
@@Dogdayshomestead Ohh, good luck! Hope you get drawn, that would be so cool!! I'm really glad I could help out :) And absolutely take your time, raw feeding is one of those things you really don't want to do until you are ready. As for vacations, you could perhaps have them go on the freeze-dried raw "kibble". Or, you could pre make all the meals needed and put them in containers, they should be fine in a regular freezer if the meat was previously stored in a deep freezer. The question would be would they all fit XD But the first 2 or 3 meals for each dog could go straight in the fridge, so that might help with space. Idk, just some thoughts. But in the end, you will figure out when you get there.
Some do but some do not. You can definitely find breeders with very active lines. I would recommend getting one 100lbs or less, smaller lines are usually much more agile. Not a hard rule but from what I have seen that gives much better odds
@@Dogdayshomestead yes I'm expecting a litter Feb 8 from my blue formentino and black brindle female I would like to chat with you about pedigrees sometime
I would visit the cane corso pedigree database and look up Basir in the search function. If you prefer some of the original American dog names let me know
Thank you for showing these! I really appreciate seeing the not so perfect runs. Im starting agility classes with my dog and its nice to see that not all runs will be perfect but its a learning process
I loved the variety of dog breeds competing. Thanks
Same! Especially seeing the difference in sizes on the same course!
This was great to see that none of them were perfect gives me home
So awesome you guys killed it!
Thank you. You videos are very helpful
Very beautifully done it was nice i enjoyed it..
Thank you!
@@Dogdayshomestead your welcome the pleasure is all mines...
😊
I will try to join a trial with my German shepherd next year so it was very helpful and fun to watch!!
Awesome! Will be hopefully posting some more of how the dog in this video progressed since this video.

yup my cane corso pup didn’t have the drive to do any sports sadly

Do this breed have endurance? Like if I wanted one as a companion for hikes or mountain biking
Some do but some do not. You can definitely find breeders with very active lines. I would recommend getting one 100lbs or less, smaller lines are usually much more agile. Not a hard rule but from what I have seen that gives much better odds
Thats like my Corso, "I'll run where I want to" lol
Hey how are you I'm a Cane corso breeder in ky
That’s good news! You’re the first I’ve met in KY
@@Dogdayshomestead yes I'm expecting a litter Feb 8 from my blue formentino and black brindle female I would like to chat with you about pedigrees sometime
Sarah how have you been how's Logan & Phonenix!?
Very Cool 😎
hello, can you help me need an instagram page that feeds the original cane corso
I would visit the cane corso pedigree database and look up Basir in the search function. If you prefer some of the original American dog names let me know
I thought weave polls weren’t novice ?
I believe they must be as this is a novice course and all others I see have them?
Are you cane corsos american or Italian
Mine are a bit more American but have some Italian. The one in this video is mainly Italian
