Piano Works $16.98 Mari Tsuda, an artist previously unknown to me, is an excellent Satie player. It seems to me that the Japanese style in the arts is very sympathetic to the withdrawn nature of Satie’s music. Tsuda just sets the music out plain and lets it bring its smile or tear without affectation. Unfortunately, either the pianist or her producer has chosen to separate some of Satie’s sets of pieces, like th… |

Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior $5.01 I don’t know if people will ever be able to talk to animals the way Doctor Doolittle could, or whether animals will be able to talk back. Maybe science will have something to say about that. But I do know people can learn to “talk” to animals, and to hear what animals have to say, better than they do now. –From Animals in TranslationWhy would a cow lick a tractor? Why are collies getting dumber? … |

Choose Your Own Proper Type Of Agility Dog Training Equipment To Teach Your Pets
You are a fan of dogs and go to the nearest pet shop and buy a puppy that is simply adorable. The next step would be to train it. Of course there are many dog trainers who could do the perfect job of training your puppy once it is old enough to do it. But such trainers can be very costly. Why waste money when you could do the training yourself. There are different types of training, out of which agility training is one method.
Agility training requires an individual to have the proper set of agility dog training equipment. But before talking about this equipment, let’s first understand what agility training is all about.
Agility training teaches your dog to navigate an obstacle course quite successfully without any help at all. Once the training is complete, your dog will be able to do these simply by obeying your commands. If your dog is a Pit Bull, it is all the better as agility training gives them the chance to use their fullest potential of using their energy. Agility dog training equipment can be very expensive. This is why many home trainers prefer to have their own type of agility dog training equipment ready for their dog.
Although there are different types of agility dog training equipment, we can take five pieces as the start for a process. The agility equipment can be easily made from materials found at your home. It is very handy and less expensive than having to buy the real supplies.
The first type of agility dog training equipment you could use is the jump. Having two bars set crosswise in between two uprights will fulfill the criteria of the jump. The first bar will actually help the dog jump over it while the second bar will act as a visual aid for it to see the jump.
The weave poles and the tunnel can be taken as the second and third types of agility dog training equipment. Getting hold of some poles and sticking them on the ground by adjusting a little space between them will help your dog move through them. The tunnel is another type of agility dog training equipment that comes in the open or pipe kind and also in chute or collapsed tunnel form.
A dog walk or a seesaw will teach the dog about contact obstacles while a pause table will help it perform a ’sit’ command on a table for the judge to see.

Can anyone help me with a dog agility problem?
I have a 10 month old Sheltie. We’ve taken about 10 classes and she is doing wonderful except for one thing, she’s afraid of the see-saw. She’ll get on it and walk maybe a couple of steps and then just freezes. I’ve tried coaxing her with praise and putting treats every few inches to no avail! If I go to the other side and put it down for her, she will finish it but she won’t use her own weight to get it down. I’m getting frustrated! We had problems with the dog walk for a while but after she discovered she can do it, she’s a pro now! Does it just take some dogs a while to be confident about some of the obstacles? Like, some dogs hate the chute or if the tunnel is turned but she loves them! Should I try making a see-saw to practice with at home, anybody know how to make one? Oh, she isn’t afraid of the see-saw noise but the movement. Help!!!
One thing to remember is that pups under a year old go thru various “fear” phases at certain ages. This could be part of your pups problem and you may find it resolved on it’s own in a couple of months if she happens to be in one of these phases right now.
I would think it would be beneficial to make your own to work with her on at home. I would suggest you make it shorter so it’s closer to the ground, maybe just 6 inches or so to start, and the plank a little wider than what’s called for in proper trials. This should be helpful in making it less scary and easier to handle to start. Work on one like this for a while just to get her more used to the idea.
If you search on Google for building Agility equipment, you will find links with instructions on how to do this. Tho you could likely just put a plank over a 2×4 and it would work well (this was used in our puppy class, no nuts and bolts needed).
Also, have you tried the clicker/reward method to shape the behavior? You can use a clicker to target the “baby steps” and work into your final goal of actually making it all the way across on her own. If you decide to give this a try, be sure you are using something really tastey as a reward, like boiling stew bits or chicken with garlic powder (the garlic makes it stinky, but the dogs love it). You need to have a really good food reward that your dog loves, beyond any daily treats you give out.
