Can mixed breeds be in the professional agility contests?

I want to start training dogs for agility contests. I already trained my Siberian husky/Aussie. cattle dog. Does obedience centers train for agility? Should I try to get a job at an obedience center? Do they hire someone who only has personal experence and no professional? If they require professional experence, is there a school for dog obedience.

Please no jokes or rude comments.
How do you find a school?
Thats what I was asking for mzbryana.
You dont have to be rude.



Search for agility clubs in your state here http://www.akc.org/clubs/search/index.cfm?action=agil&display=on

They may require someone with professional experience, but they may give you a job with the club to gain experience, and maybe later on get moved up to the training.

Depending where you live, and who you work for, they may want a trainer who is insured and licensed...maybe even bonded.

Help with Dog Agility Training?!?!?!?!?

I have got myself a job (yaaaaaaay!) at a dog training centre, I will be helping out with beginner dogs and in the e-mail the owner of the centre says I will need to help dogs get a "good weave entry"......... problem is I do not know how to do this!! She said I can spend a few hours watching classses to get the idea of how to do it, but I wanted some information and help beforehand. Can someone please give me advice on how to train dogs to weave? Any informative websites will be appreciated!
Thing is I won't know any of these dogs, other people bring them in.
I am not teaching the dogs all on my own, i am just an assistant,



What a brilliant job, congratulations. I taught my dogs to do this with individual poles, its a bit difficult to explain this. However the poles were slanted and if they were viewed from the end, they were a V shape. Some people slot a wire through the poles to stop the dog from missing the poles.

There are so many different ways of teaching a dog to weave that I think that taking advise on here is pointless because each dog responds to a different method. In any event you must use the methods that are used at the training centre.

If you are not starting your new job for a while, I think that you should go and watch beforehand. If you do this you will gain more knowledge and earn a lot of browny points from your new employers.

I used to train my dogs in the garden, in addition to going to a club every week. I have a book written by Ruth Hob day called "Agility is Fun" and it helped enormously. I also bought video's and this helped too.
