Agility is a sport for everyone so get "Ready, Set" and "Hup",
"Tunnel", "Weave", "Teeter" and more with your giant. To get
started in agility you need a basic foundation in obedience
with your giant to sit, down, come, and stay as control is
very important. Any giant that has the training needed to pass
its Canine Good Citizen Test is ready to start agility.
Agility is a fast moving high drive sport well suited for the
Giant's natural power and athleticism. Giants train quickly
in agility when positive methods are applied and the dog is
worked motivationally in prey and food drives. Giants attack
the agility course with so much gusto they are immediate crowd
pleasers even when things do not go as planned. Mistakes in
running a giant are never subtle, you haven't seen a jump
crashed until a Giant misjudges a jump. Who knew PVC could
fly that far?? Agility competition is geared for all dog and
handler teams young and old and the major organizations AKC,
NADAC, USDAA and more have classes and levels of competition
geared from novice to expert level teams. The best part of
agility training is the intense bond between dog and owner
that develops as you train and work together to navigate the
various course patterns and obstacles. By
