As we cannot go to our normal agility clubs right now, after a while we realize there’s actually quite a lot that we can train in our backyard with what we have. Below we made a list of the courses that you can take, even now, in isolation. Some of them require 1-3 jumps, perhaps a tunnel or some other obstacle, but there are also courses that don’t require anything else besides a computer, and they can really add to your understanding of dog agility. So, instead of getting wet and suffering, let’s learn to dance in the rain!
