Agility is a fast
moving sport for dogs of all shapes and sizes.there are lots of different
classes depending on your experiance . Munsters love agility and can
do it well when they put their minds to it. On this page I will try
and explain about some of the equipment that the dogs have to master.
Hurdle - is basically a jump, set at different heights depending on the size
of dog.
Agility is fun
and you should give it a go. please get intouch and I will find your
nearest club for you and your pooch to go to. Dogs must be at least
1 year old to start but even then they must not over do it. It is advisable
to have your dog hip scored before it starts in any big breed just
to make sure all is weel for your dog as agility can put a lot of strain
on
joints. dogs must be healthy and fit. [owners too!!!!]

Another piece of contact
equipment and has the same mark to touch, the dog walk is a longer shape
made up of three planks. Tunnel - there are two tunnels , the cloth tunnel
and the rigid tunnel . the rigid tunnel is a long pipe shaped tunnel
that can be curved to add a bit of a difference. the cloth tunnel is
made from a waterproof material and has a entrance. some dogs have trouble
to start with the cloth tunnel but soon get the hang
of it.
