Is your dog so aroused by your movement that they can’t focus on agility?

Is your dog so aroused by your movement that they can’t focus on agility? 🏃‍♀️🐕
Often this looks like…
- knocked bars
- Dog running around obstacles
- Running past or popping out of weaves
- Dog barking at you or spinning
If this is you, we have an exercise for you to try!
👉 Run with your dog behind you
🏃‍♀️ Drop a reward and keep running
🐕 See if your dog stops to get the reward. You can encourage them by saying “get it” for example
🚫 If they don’t get it, stop and send them back to the reward.
🏃‍♀️As soon as they go to the reward, start running again
🐾 Repeat until your dog gets the reward first try
During agility training, place or throw rewards on your dog’s line between the obstacles, don’t just reward from your hand!
