Is your dog obedient around other dogs??
Before taking your agility dog to a competition or a public agility course, you need to make sure they can behave in the presence of other dogs. Sometimes our dogs go absolutely nuts when they see other dogs. He may be the best behaved, nicest dog when he is around you and your friends. But let another canine come into the picture and he doesn’t even remember who you are!
You need to work on your dog’s socialization. The problem is that he or she hasn’t been around enough other dogs in various situations to choose you over a canine companion. You should expose your dog to other dogs in a variety of situations so that he may be accustomed to being around them without attacking them, in one way or another.
A great place to start is with dog obedience training classes. Look in your local yellow pages, ask your veterinarian or talk to employees at your local pet food supermarket to get information about classes near you. Teaching your dog obedience in a group setting will not only get him accustomed to other dogs but will strengthen the bond between the two of you. This will help when you are at dog agility training and competitions. Plus, he’ll learn to be better behaved as well!
Once you and your dog have some basic obedience under your belts and you know your dog is friendly with other people and animals, you can take him to other locations for socialization. You may want to go to the local dog park. Or talk to some friends from your dog class about arranging a “play date”. There are even some businesses that offer “doggie day care” that will give your dog an opportunity to interact with other dogs.
Once your dog has been socialized with other dogs, he won’t be so frantic when he sees another one of his own kind. He will be much more willing to focus on you when you are doing fun and interesting things like learning obedience or playing at agility.
By the way, unless you’re a dog breeder, it’s a good idea to spay or neuter your dog. This will go a long way towards making sure your dog doesn’t get too “friendly” with other dogs and get in more than one kind of trouble!
