Does your dog ever jump on the patio picnic table or your living room couch? If yes, dog agility is in your dogs future! Dog agility benefits dogs by not only providing a job to do, but a alternate activity to refocus stress, dog anxiety<\/a>, and dog aggressive<\/a> tendencies. By conditioning your dog with daily dog agility obstacle exercises, you will notice more calmness and control with your dog.<\/p>\n

1. Table. <\/strong>Table obstacle is a 3ft. by 3ft. platform where the dog will do a down\/stay command for up to 5 seconds. This hold time will provide focus and added control so the dog becomes more conditioned for calmness and stress reduction. I teach my customers with high \u201cprey\u201d driven dogs <\/a>or mild aggressive dogs to use the table command as a distraction technique for any oncoming potential \u201ctrigger\u201d response stimulus, i.e. dogs, bikes, or skateboards. Begin looking for obstacles on your walk you can use for the table command, i.e. picnic tables, large rocks, or park benches.
