Extended look at Crufts 2012's Agility Contests - Small, Medium and Large Breeds

[@dooggyloover]

Since I was 13 years old, I've always wanted to compete in Crufts. I've trained several dogs in agility in my life so far. (I'm 18.) My 4th trained dog, Cocoa, a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel, has recently achieved pro status at agility. I'm quite proud of him.

[@brennaiii]

wow congrats!

[@stephtoms6444]

Thats amazing!! COOOL!!!

[@jcthejester13]

I love the creep-n-crawl they do at the beginning of the course!

[@furevercute5164]

Agility looks so fun for both the owner and the dog.

[@sarahpeters2714]

I love these agility compilations that really helps me to keep watching these cute dogs are fast the small dogs are fast on the cause

[@mollyjbrooke]

I love how they say the name of the dog first. Is it just me who thinks that makes it sound like the dogs brought the humans along, not the other way round?

[@Faustaao]

"tug" is a game that most dogs (especially sporting dogs) go NUTS for. Even just a leash used as a tug is a huge reward for them after they run a course. Plus, there's no food/treats/toys allowed in an agility ring so the leash is really all they have haha

[@volleyballfan2]

We started with 1 year of obedience training before agility.Then,for 2 years, we did agility training. We did 2 hours once a week for a lesson and 10-15 minutes each day at our house.But it will take time to learn everything, especially the weave poles.But if you work about 1/2 your horse time with your dog every day at 1-2 obstacles before moving on,you should progress at a good pace.I recommend having some obedience training first as it will help immensely and also taking lessons 1 time a week

[@DreamOutLoud54]

sadly, its only on in the uk i think :( all the other agility competitions are on sports center

[@jasperbaker7841]

The speed on the medium cross breed is unbelievable!

[@sezabinsey1191]

She's an Australian Kelpie cross, I own one of these dogs and she's faster than my Rhodesian ridgeback, I love her, very effective ate dog!

[@pancakeman1936]

what channel is this on? (on tv)

[@BubblyGumm]

In the future I would love to get into this sport. I was wondering how often and how long one trains with their dog. currently I'm a horse back rider, I ride my horse everyday just about. I don't really compete much, but when I do my training/practice sessions are around 30 minutes each time. I spend about 2 hours with my horse everyday. Thank you for all that can give me an estimate.

[@dominikaisendi]

BubblyGumm a long time as the weave poles mostly take the most. you also need to work on handiling your dog and speed

[@ThePoohats]

why do all the dogs bite and tug on the leash after the course is over?

[@dominikaisendi]

ThePoohats its a reward

[@mlconverse07]

What kind of dog does Charlotte Harding have in the competition? Its adorable...

[@amyagis6139]

She has a cocker spaniel named honey

[@JoeGameVideos]

Need to wait 3 months left for those training :S Can't wait my Shepherd jumps now with out any problems and amazing for 1Meter no faulths

[@geeq13]

why is there a border collie in the medium and the large???

[@dominikaisendi]

geeq13 some are smaller than others

[@BaconGreyWolf]

I found myself saying to the screen what to do. >.>

[@Fdawson123]

yes

[@nicolejimmons8718]

I wanted to enter my maltese peanut

[@moya1407]

amazing speed speed speed

[@Ilikesifsif]

Why do they give a penalty for missing an obstacle? Isn't missing it just as bad as a penalty?

[@dominikaisendi]

Ilikesifsif if they miss the obstacle and keep going they get eliminated. if they go back and do it they get 5 faults.

[@maiamiller3017]

WOW!

[@DreamOutLoud54]

3:30 wolf impersonation? haha

[@joetyler99]

I love dogs and I want one but my mum and sister doesn't like them :(

[@Schnaidernineseveneight]

i dont see any Doberman or PitBulls or AST nor Rottys ....

[@dominikaisendi]

Charlie And Lola pitbulls are a breed their just banned in the uk.

[@Yak1312]

This was for smaller dogs not the big rotties. Besides the course wasn't set up for large dogs.

[@bubblez172737]

Schnaider nineseveneight lol I am pretty sure it's because they are working class dogs. Not exactly as agile.. But yeah I think I have only seen one bull terrier in agility so far

[@Kufo-Oriji4632]

So sad that pitbulls are banned in the UK

[@frostwolf2423]

I have a dog named daisy, she's a mutt but she's adorable

[@Mondazeph]

i love dogs but i don't have a dog :(

[@pancakeman1936]

i live in the uk :)

[@kayleencamacho2289]

They did it wrong for the black border collie they were at 32.something and the the timer skipped to 37.something

[@DeCiimehPiituuh]

MI PERRO FABORITO ES BORDER COLLIE

[@blurrHaze]

wear something simple and sweet,, what breed of Doggie do you have? do you play agility everyday?? T.C. :)

[@whydoineedtosignup00]

DO YOU HAVE A DOG

[@MagmaSedusa]

One of my dreams is to be at Crufts one day! Sadly in this shitty country i live in there is no way i could prepare for such thing! Noone even knows what dog aggility is here :( I was born in the wrong place ._.

[@ToxicWater363]

wow

[@s3rvana]

I wouldn't dress up for agility. The people who dress up are the ones who are showing their dogs. For agility you need something which allows for free movement. I would just wear a shirt & pants, as seen in this video.

[@gracetindale6148]

Like if you love dogs

[@flaviorino7075]

this would've been so much more pleasant without the comentators...

[@viniciusrodrigues-gk3yl]

O.o

[@Splashstar216]

What's the point of showing dogs? All it does it make breeders breed for beauty and nothing else. The working lines look more like the breed standard than the show dogs do anyway, because form follows function, function does not follow form.

[@Yak1312]

This isn't show its agility.
