I was wondering if any of you vetreans had recommendations for starting agility training at home. We will be starting puppy classes mid oct, but i was hoping to get an early start!

Ok... just saw your post in the other section.

The best agility training you can do at this age is obedience training. Work on recall, sits, downs etc. You can get the puppy to follow your finger as you guide her around your body left and then right. Get her used to working off both sides of your body.

Socialization is also good. You want to work at desensitizing your poodle to different sounds and surfaces.

You could also get a tunnel and start working on that.

What you don't want to do is any jumping, high contacts or weaves until your poodle is older.
