Should I Take My Dog to Agility Training?

Updated: Jun 28, 2023

100% yes!

Dog training schools that offer agility training will likely have a minimum age requirement (as they should!) for pups to join their agility training program and perhaps even a set of skills required as well. You will also want to double-check with your vet as to how young your pup should start doing agility training in general.


That said, most agility training programs will start with very basic and beginner-level exercises, not only for safety reasons but also to make it as enjoyable as possible for you and your pooch!


But the moment you feel ready to start, please do! Agility Training is one of, if not the best way to provide a wonderful enrichment outlet for your dog's physical AND mental energy, while also strengthening your bond and connection with your dog. This is because overcoming exercises and obstacles together will provide you with the biggest treat: feeling like you've accomplished amazing things alongside one another!


If you don't have an agility training service or program near you, you can opt for an at-home option. Even if you don't have a backyard, agility training equipment can work around the space you have and we know energetic dogs aren't picky. They simply want to have fun with you!
