Getting Started
The best way to learn agility is to take agility lessons. There are many resources for learning to teach agility, both in person and online. There are various training techniques and schools of thought on how to teach agility, but all of them are based on the theory of rewarding success. When the dog does something successful, you reward and praise them! You will start with one obstacle at a time, but as the dog and handler progress, you will soon be linking several obstacles in a row, and eventually string together an entire course.
