In addition to providing the mental and physical stimulation your dog needs, practicing agility is a great way to bond with your pup. But where to begin?
In the sport of canine agility, handlers direct dogs around an obstacle course that includes weave poles, jumps, tunnels, see-saws and A-frames. Competitions exist for the more advanced dog athletes, but many people practice agility with their dogs just for fun.
If you want to start agility training, first consider if it is suitable for your dog, and if your dog would enjoy it. BestReviewsâ
The sportâs high-impact running and jumping arenât suitable for young dogs; it can give them joint and hip trouble later in life. Itâs best to wait until your dog is at least a year old â 18 to 24 months, even, for large breeds that take longer to physically mature.
MEN S DRAW
Since 2010, every Grand Slam winner has been from Europe. And this year, it s not changing. Two of tennis big three are still in play and are both heavy favorites to make the finals. But there is some young and hungry talent that could spoil yet another Djokovic or Nadal title.
(1) Djokovic vs. (6) Zverev â In his quest for a 9th Australian Open, Djokovic has to get through a feisty 23-year-old Alexander Zverev. Head-to-head Djokovic is up, 6-2, and I like his chances to make it a seventh victory over Zverev. Zverev has a big game with a 6 6 frame, but his consistency is patchy, and you can t make mistakes in best of 5 against Djokovic.
