AGILITY GIVES YOUR DOG A CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT A NORFOLK CAN DO

Agility looks like it's so much fun that it you wouldn't think it requires a lot of training, but it does. The dogs start at lower heights and gradually work up to regulation heights. They also require some basic obedience training because the dogs are off leash when competing. They must know come, stay, sit and down, and then you can eventually train them to understand directional commands, such as left and right, go out, and here.
There is a lot more to agility than meets the eye, but it is so much fun that, given the right beginning, dogs really enjoy it and get so excited and motivated. It is fun to teach and practice. It is also fun to watch and often gets the most spectators at a show because of the fast paced action and the funny things that dogs or handlers do in their rush to negotiate the course. Norfolks are very well suited to this sport. Tunnels are also a part of agility, both open and closed tunnels. This should be a natural for our Norfolks.
