Download or read book Open Agility Dog Trials written by Mary Simpson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations! You and your wonderful dog have completed your Novice Agility competition and earned your title! Now you can move up to the Open Agility Trials. You're off to a terrific new adventure. Showing a dog in agility events is exciting for both you and your dog. A lot happens very fast, and it can be challenging to keep track of and make notes on what you want to remember. Marking your trial catalog is one way to do this, but the information tends to be scattered and rather disorganized. Any space provided for notes at the end of the catalog, while helpful, requires flipping back and forth to record and later to find the information you wanted to remember. And you may find your notes you scribbled in the margins hard to decipher or even to locate later. Because there are so many things to concentrate on at a trial, having everything recorded in one convenient location can be very helpful. With prompts, there is less chance that you will forget important items you want to notate. And, with designated spaces for specific items, you can quickly make brief notations that you can expand upon when you have time later. This journal is designed to assist you in recording important information about the events you have shown in. Each entry consists of two pages upon which you can enter information about the trial, date, location, the judge, your score, and whether you qualified. You may also record your evaluation of your performance, your overall experience, notes on anything you wish to improve, and overall results of the event. At the back of the journal, there is space for you to record the scores you have earned, and there is a moveable Index where you can list the trials and page numbers for easily finding what you want for reference later.

Download or read book Enjoying Dog Agility written by Julie Daniels and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoying Dog Agility (2nd edition) is the premier beginner's guide to the fast-growing sport of dog agility. Author Julie Daniels, a national and international agility champion and one of the early pioneers of the sport in the United States, has written an upbeat and informative must-read that shares her insight into all aspects of agility, from initial training of the dog to competing and succeeding in agility trials. A perfectly crafted guide for novice agility handlers, Daniels's book teaches handlers to motivate their dogs, use positive-training techniques, and, most of all, have fun with their dogs.Divided into two sections, the book begins with "This Is Agility," the section that introduces readers to the basic requirements of the sport, methods of handling the dog, conditioning for the dog, and developing true teamwork with the dog. The second section is devoted to "The Obstacles" and discusses how to train the dog for all of the major obstacles found at trial: the apertures (open and closed tunnels and tire jump), the ramps (A-framed, dogwalk, and seesaw), the jumps (bar and solid jumps, spread jumps, and broad jumps), the pause table, and the weave poles. Each obstacle in Section II is presented with step-by-step training instructions on how to introduce the dog to the obstacle and how to navigate it, including avoiding and fixing problems along the way.As Stuart Mah (of Rising Stars Dog Agility) says of the author and her classic text, "Long-considered one of the ‘grand dames' of dog agility, Julie Daniels writes in an easy-to-understand style. Reading Enjoying Dog Agility is like having Julie there, discussing agility with you personally." Fully indexed for ease of reference.

Download or read book Puppy Socialization written by Marge Rogers and published by Bright Friends Productions. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It defines and demystifies the most important thing you can do for your puppy: socialization. The authors don't just tell you what you need to know about socialization. They show you with dozens of photographs and exclusive linked videos (a live internet connection is needed to view the videos). You'll see other owners socialize their puppies under the guidance of a nationally certified dog trainer and behavior consultant. These real-life examples of socialization show you what to do when things go well and when they don't go so well. You’ll learn about: • The magical time. Did you know that there is a special time in a puppy's life when he is primed to accept new things? The authors tell you when that time is, when that socialization window starts closing, and how a little effort by an owner during that time can save heartache later. • Canine body language. Puppies and dogs are talking all the time—with their body language. Learn to tell when a puppy or dog is relaxed and happy, a bit nervous about something, or outright fearful. • Myth-busting. There's a lot of advice out there about socialization and not all of it is good. Some common myths can actually cause a puppy harm. The authors give you the most up-to-date information on puppy socialization and put some harmful myths to rest. • Socializing a puppy during COVID-19. Puppies have so much to get used to: people, environments, noises, and more. The authors provide strategies for keeping humans and puppies safe while socializing puppies, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. • What supplies are needed during socialization. The authors provide checklists of things owners need when socializing a puppy at home and away from home.
