Dog agility training made its debut in Great Britain in 1977 Athletics Joe Morgan Jersey , inspired by the timed cross-country and stadium jumping in equestrian combined training events. The sport consists of an inspiring team of a dog and his handler negotiating a course of obstacles. The trainer gives commands while the dog quickly manipulates his way around jumps, tunnels, dog walks, see-saws, A frames Athletics Walt Weiss Jersey , and weave poles.

Competitions are judged based on time and the dog's ability to clear the obstacles. Although the sport is loved mostly by its competitors it is also a treat for the spectators.

Dog agility training competition is a serious and well organized sport with many guidelines and regulations. The two divisions in the competition are based on the dog's size. A dog between sixteen and twenty-one inches from the shoulder is put in the mini division.

Competitors in the 'mini' division are required to complete courses with jump heights being twelve inches, eighteen inches and twenty-four inches. Dogs measuring over twenty-one inches at the shoulders compete in the 'open' division and are required to jump twenty-six, twenty-eight, and thirty inches. Competitors must be measured by an approved dog agility judge prior to the competition.

Before beginning training, the dog's growth plates must have closed in order to prevent injury. Growth plates close around nine months old. At this time the animal can begin dog agility training and will be ready for competition when he is able to clear the jump heights in his division.

How do dogs get started in dog agility training?

The first step in the dog's competitive career is the 'starter' division; this division is reserved for dogs that do not yet hold agility titles. After the dog has one clean round he earns his 'starter' title. With this title the dog is qualified to compete in the advanced level. To earn an 'Advanced Title' the dog must successfully clear three rounds judged by two different judges.

At this time the dog is eligible to compete in the 'masters' classes. In order for the dog to earn a 'Masters' title he must successfully complete a six part qualification process. This process includes versatility classes with three clean rounds by two different judges. The 'masters' title also requires three successfully completed games courses with qualifying scores from two judges.

Not every dog can be a 'Master' Athletics Tony Phillips Jersey , but they sure have fun trying. Dog agility training is a fun and challenging sport enjoyed by many people around the country, but none of them are having nearly as much fun as the dogs.

ROME, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Would Germany's elections results affect the political equilibrium in Italy, the next European country to head to election in few months? Italian analysts and media mulled over the issue in the aftermath of the vote held on Sunday, which granted Chancellor Angela Merkel her fourth term in a row.


Merkel's conservative CDUCSU bloc remained the largest force in the parliament Athletics Rickey Henderson Jersey , with 33 percent of the vote. Nonetheless, it suffered its heaviest setback in decades.


An even larger defeat struck the major center-left party, the Social Democrats SPD, which dropped to 20.5 percent from 25.7 percent in the previous election in 2013. The two forces had been leading the country for the past four years through a so-called grand coalition.


As support for mainstream parties weakened -- as already registered in other countries within the European Union (EU) -- anti-immigration and euro-sceptic Alternative fuer Deutschland (AFD) party scored the best result ever for a far-right movement in Germany after World War II. With 12.6 percent of vote, it will enter the parliament for the first time as the third largest force.


Was the same trend likely to repeat itself in Italy Authentic Dennis Eckersley Jersey , which was going to hold parliamentary elections next spring?


"I think the German vote may indeed affect the next campaign in Italy, in terms of more emphasis given on the need to reform the EU," Federico Niglia, professor of international relations and history with LUISS University in Rome, told Xinhua. "Each political force Authentic Dave Henderson Jersey , of course, would address this issue according to its orientation."


Moderate, pro-European parties would push harder for a reform of some EU policies, in order to better address Italian citizens' needs and worries, Niglia explained.


Their solution for slowing down the populist wave among the electorate (Italian and European) would be to call for "more Europe" Authentic Terry Steinbach Jersey , not less, but better functioning.


This position would be represented at most by Italy's center-left Democratic Party (PD), which was leading the current coalition government.


On the contrary, euro-sceptic (or simply anti-euro) parties would feel time has come "to give the final push" against the European Union, according to Niglia.


Strongest on this front would be Italy's populist Five Star Movement (M5S) -- currently the largest opposition force Authentic Rollie Fingers Jersey , and neck-to-neck with center-left PD in latest opinion polls -- and anti-immigration Northern League party.


The outcome of the German vote would possibly affect Italian parties' strategies in another way, leading business daily Il Sole 24 commented on Tuesday.


"A major topic will be the 'grand coalition', for which the two main German parties (CDUCSU and SPD) have paid a high price, and especially German Social Democrats," political analyst Lina Palmerini wrote.


This was expected to be the "big taboo" of the Italian campaign Authentic Jose Canseco Jersey , according to Il Sole. "The perspective (of a grand coalition) will be dismissed from both the left and the right, putting both sides in troubles."


It would be difficult for leftist and center-left forces, because it was not yet clear what possible alliance able to govern they could form, Palmerini explained.


As for the center-right, it w. NFL Jerseys Wholesale Hockey Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Custom Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Basketball Jerseys Free Shipping
