Stressed Out?
We can not give our dogs a totally stress free life, nor
would we want to. Stress in moderation is not harmful. However, problems with dogs arise
when they are subjected to many forms of stress in their every day life, and they are not
allowed to recover from it. You may think that you are the only only stressed out on the
agility course, but your dog feels to pressure too. Dog behaviourist
Aileen Clarke investigates the causes of stress and how
to relieve it.

Understanding Your Relationship with Your Dog
For many of us, one of the reasons we enjoy competitive canine sports so much is
due to this attachment we form with our dog(s). Reciprocally, to succeed in these sports,
one must start with a good, solid relationship with the dog. Kathy Herzog began
this article with the idea in mind of discussing forms of reinforcement and reward, and
how these concepts relate to agility training. However, as she began her research, she
realised that an exploration of one's relationship with one's dog is much more germane
and basic to the ultimate goal of having a cohesive and successful agility team. |
