Agility Course Question

Basenji Training
  • P

    Hi guys,

    We are taking Pumpkin to an enclosed agility course tomorrow for fun and exercise. Any tips or suggestions to encourage interest? We have a great (enclosed) dog park right in our neighborhood that she has been ruling, but it has nothing but space to run (it doesn't even have a bench for my butt). There is a great one just one town over with many enclosures for different fun. All advice is welcome!

    Max did agility 3 times and then he got bored-looked at me and walked away. Make it s fun as possible and bring treats!

    Well, that was a bust, turns out the course wasn't fully enclosed alone, too many other dogs to even pay attention. She did have a blast with all the other happy dogs! So it was still a fun outing!

    @ohbassit: So the Vet gave her the seal of approval. She did say that everything seems to be in order and her hips are fine. I definately think that it was a case of her being bored. We have switched things up and she knows now that once she does her business a few times the rest of the walk is for her. I try and keep the walk limited at 45 minutes to an hour since if I gave her free reign to sniff and say hello to everybody (people, dogs, cats, squirrels) we would be out there for awhile. While your Vet might have given her "HIPS" the seal of approval… unless they are x-rayed and viewed by a board certified Othopedic vet.. you really would not know if there is a problem with hips....

    How fun! WTG Willy! I wish I had time to get Duke into this or agility of sorts. I don't have any time, but I know he'd make me proud like your Willy.

    I was told to get a fishing pole and attach a white bag to the line and drag it along the yard, Basenjis will chase it, and occasionally let them catch it. Also I understand that playing fetch also helps to get them interested in going after something. We tried Lure Coursing for the first time last month, my Basenji is 1 yr. 5 mos. and she really liked it. She did really good for the first time, she had fun watching the other dogs as well, plus it is good for socializing, adults as well as dogs. Sahara loves to play fetch so it makes me think it helped.
