Barrel Racing for dogs Information
Barrel Racing originates from horse riding and is a timed rodeo discipline that demands speed, accuracy and agility. In America they now have the same type of races for dogs. The handler & dog’s skills and competitive drive in this fast and furious event make it a crowd favourite. The dogs race from end to end of the arena at full speed while twisting and turning around a series of barrels in a cloverleaf pattern. The handlers have to keep standing behind the starting line, while giving commands to the dog and making sure the dog runs as fast as possible.This training session is the first of our regular training sessions for this sport in 2011. It is suitable for absolute beginners and for experienced teams. We will go over the 4 different patterns that can be asked in a competition and you will have a go at the barrels. If there is time we might even do a little race! We only do 2 hour sessions as experience has taught us that the dogs get really tired in that time.
