Dog Agility Training? Is this something I can train on my own, or do I have to go somewhere??
This was just suggested to me on one of my other questions so I would like to give it a try...but I am a single income family with a bunch of kids, so budget is a problem. I don't want to rack up hundreds in training costs in a pay by the hour environment. I would like to learn the techniques myself so I can do most of the training.
Where do you go to start agility training or sport training with a pupply, and how old should your puppy be when you begin? Any good resources in West Mighigan/ Grand Rapids area??
I have been doing agility with my lab for almost 3 years now. I have taken classes both in Texas and Massachusetts so I can't speak for your area but it is pretty reasonably priced for Dog Training. Most beginner classes will be in the range of $125-175 for 6 to 8 weeks of lessons. I now pay $15 per class. So about 60 bucks a month and that's it.
Like some other answerers stated the equipment is what prevents most people from training at home. It is costly to buy and hard to build so the cost of lessons basically is the same as making your own equipment!
Agility is a blast for people and for dogs, and going to class and meeting other people with their dogs is very fun and supportive environment.
I started out thinking I would never compete in agility, that we were doing it "just for fun" and three weeks ago I went to my 2nd NADAC trail and had a blast.
I would also recommend checking out www.cleanrun.com
They have links to agility events, trainers in all states etc.
I would also suggest going to a trail as a spectator, it'll give you a good idea of how it all works!
