Nicole... Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Can anyone tell me what words are commonly used in agility? Or are there any good websites out there with them already listed. We are trying to make sure we don't train any words for things that need to be used later on. We have just started foundation agility and are using "touch" with a mat and "jump" for jumps. Not sure what word, if any, we should cue when training to enter the weave though. We are taught how do train the activity in class and I always forget what to ask what word to put to it once she has it right so by the next week I've given it a word and don't want it to be wrong.

DeltaCharlie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) There is no right or wrong name for any of the obstacles, pretty much whatever you want to call them. Dogs don't understand english so they don't really know what it is you are saying, they just recognise the cue. Check out this thread Agility Commands. People have shared their own commands for different obstacles. Might give you some ideas for cues to use.

poocow Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I use commands more for me than for the dog, he just follows my hand. I use 'tyre', 'over' and 'scramble' as well as 'slow' and 'touch' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smisch Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I use Frame for the A-frame and the word for touch is "get it!" but the funny thing is for weaves I use go weave get it get it get it until the excersise is complete. Get it is basically the attention word cos jock all of sudden goes "what am I getting??" and starts doing what his told lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanglen Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) You can use anything you like! I frequently get gigles from judges when I call "Wobble" for the see saw!, Well see saw just takes way too long to say and they know exactly that wobble means it will move so go slow!!
