How do I train my agility dog not to knock bars?

I have a border collie that I am starting to compete in agility, and she is very fast. The only problem is she jumps really fast and flat. Does anyone have training tips on how to get a more rounded jump from her. Thanks in advance!

DIY Dog Agility Training?

I have a four legged brother, a finely intelligent English Springer Span.

In my local woods he is easily tempted into jumping fallen logs and random thickets but transferring this to the back garden has proved harder.

I’ve made three jumps in a line, all around his head height and clear-able. One of bamboo cane, and the others raised fur tree clippings (like horse jumps).

If I throw a ball through, he’ll go round the side. If I hold the ball in front of his face, he can just about be lured into jumping (even choosing the duck under occasionally) but loses interest after going through once or twice.

What’s the best way to get him into the mind set of ‘if there’s a jump, I’ll jump it’, so I’d be able to throw a ball from one end and have him jump and weave over/under the obstacles?

How do I get my dogs into agility training?

I have two dogs. One pitbull/small hound mutt and a pure Beagle. They are both extremely athletic and a little mischeivous. I would like to be able to set up an agility course in my back yard so they have a positive activity that will challenge them and burn off some of their never ending energy. But first I need to learn how to train them to do this.

P.S. I also have to train the Beagle to behave off leash.

My dog is starting agility training. Typically how many years of training before a dog is ready to compete?

Like at what age do dogs typically compete? And at what age do you retire them?

I have a 2 year old dog that is starting agility training this summer and the trainer said it usually takes a few years before the dog is ready to compete. So I am just trying to get an idea at what age she will be when she is competing and how long she will be able to compete. But he won’t start training any dog for it until they are two years old.

Also she is a mutt but they trainer said she will be able to compete, but we have to get some kind of register number or something. Could anybody give me some insight into that please?

Thanks

We are doing this all for fun but it would be kind of cool if she got to compete one day. She is great.
