do beagles do well in agility games?
My parents have two beagles that are full of energy. I dog sit a lot and I may be moving close to them where I'll spend more time with the dogs.
They are two female litter mates. They'll be 2 years in August.
I would like to buy one of the agility course kits you can get from the pet store and help use up some of that energy they have.
I have to house sit virtually all summer for my parents. I wanted to find something fun for the dogs to do in the yard. They love to jump and play and run around and I thought an agility course might entertain them and be fun for both of us.
The only competition is held by the SPCA but our dogs are not trained enough to handle that.
I thought bringing in a course would also encourage my younger brother to be more involved with the dogs. Because you need to work as a team
The kit at the pet store only has weave poles, two little jumps, and a tunnel.
Beagles aren't notorious for their skills on the agility course, but that doesn't mean you can't have a ton of fun with your dogs.
Any activity you do with your dog will benefit their overall happiness. I do worry a little if you aren't skilled with agility and the equipment. A-frames, dogwalks, and teeter-totters all risk falling injury. I suggest weave poles, and tunnles, and low jumps for some fun learning/play time with your dogs!
Beginning agility classes would also be fun, but I think you could just enjoy the things I've suggested in your own backyard if you don't plan on competing.
EDIT: I read what came in the kit, and that sounds PERFECT! I think you'll have a great time! And it's VERY fun to work with your dogs on such playful equipment.
