Your Dog Agility And Dog Sports Questions Covered #105 - a podcast by Susan Garrett

Answering your dog sport questions! Even if you don’t do dog sports, many of the questions relate to

agility camp entirely through Zoom.
In the episode you'll hear answers covering:
• Connecting with your dog better when running an entire agility course.
• Giving motivation a boost when competing.
• How often my dogs do fitness training.
• Preventing arthritis in sports dogs.
• Building value for what I want my dogs to do.
• My use of different cues for turns on tunnels and the dog walk.
• Working your way up to championship level in agility.
• When to retire a dog from competition.
• Keeping track of verbal cues.
• Why to pay attention to your dog’s emotions at the agility start line.
• The importance of focus forward.
• Warm up and cool down routines.
• Starting puppies in dog sports.
• My top five body awareness exercise and why the list depends on age.
• The same thing I do on every lead out to connect with my dog.
