When they are just puppies, dogs almost always receive tons of attention from their owners. Chalk it up to cuteness combined with the thrill of the new. In an ideal world, we would maintain that close connection with our dogs well into adulthood. Unfortunately, our work and social lives often get in the way. When the dog becomes an afterthought, he becomes less obedient and more likely to act out.
If you’re looking to reconnect with your dog and teach him valuable skills at the same time, consider pursuing dog agility training. You’ll need to practice and refine your communication skills with the dog before signing up for competitions. Events range from the rather simple – running through tunnels – to the incredibly difficult – teeter and pole weave.
