Many dog owners who are thinking about getting involved in dog agility training are concerned about the time commitment it takes. Well, that all depends on what your goals are for your training and what level you’d like to achieve.
If you are doing agility training just for fun, you only need to spend about an hour or two a week at the most. Spend about fifteen minutes a day teaching them the basics and then when you feel they are ready for the more complicated aspects of dog agility, you’ll want to bump up your time a little bit to accomodate.
If you decide to take a class, count on at least one hour a week and you know you’re going to have homework.
When you start teaching them jumps and other obstacles, you’ll be spending a little more time because it’s a little more complicated for you and your dog. You might have to go slower because you may turn your dog off of the sport if you get impatient with him. Remember that you won’t need to spend so much time on the basics as your dog progresses so it all evens out.
If you decide to join a club or get involved in trials and competitions, then you’ll start to spend a lot more time on the sport. Going to trials and competitions means you’ll be spending a lot of time waiting around and watching other dogs compete as well as your own dog. But if you and your dog are enjoying it, you may find it’s worth it because you are meeting a lot more people with similar interests, you’ll be learning more about agility when you’re there and you’re spending quality time with your dog.
It’s best to start out slow and just enjoy the sport and the time you are spending with your dog. The amount of time you spend on agility training is really up to you and the goals you have set for your dog.
