Should i give up?

[claire_p2001]

been taking my dog to agility practice for the last few months i really enjoy it but he gets difficult and over excited. i tried calmer which helped but he's still not totally focused. am i expecting to much to soon? when he is good he is so fast and never touches a pole! do you think he will get better with time? any advice/happy endings?

How old is he? Maybe he just gets overexited cos of his age. If he enjoys it and you say you do then I would keep at it. Unless he's disrupting the class for everyone else!!!

It can take a while for them to focus, don't upset him by trying to get him too calm because you'll lose the speed and it's harder to speed them back up again. Work on the control afterwards.

A few months isn't that long, I've been training my dogs for about 2yrs and still working on focus and control with 2 of them.

Don't give up
