DOG AGILITY FOR PUOPPIES
Because puppies bones are still growing its best to wait a few months before you do jump training with them. Jump training done too soon can cause injuries. Some recommend you wait until they are a year old. But others start training earlier. Check with your vet to be safe.
Below that you can see Magic Momo Superdog as a puppy learning the "Stop" cue followed by a "Go to your Bed" cue. No jump training needed here.
Teaching Agility Turns Without Jumps
At the bottom of this page, in the video by EveryDay K9s you can see a way to start teaching agility turns without using jumps, but using hoops.
Foundation Exercises for Puppies
There are still many foundation exercises you can do with your dog without jumps. One crucial skill you can teach is the ability to respond to verbal and non-verbal cues.
Teach your dogs to turn left, turn right, go straight, stop, wait.
It's amazing how fast dogs can learn to respond to spoken as well as body language cues.
This will be invaluable, later when you do actual dog agility runs!
