Game rules

AGILITY

Proposals for the use of agility equipment

It is recommended that dogs’ muscles are warmed up before each training session. A light run or some fetching exercises (retrieving thrown objects) are excellent for this.

Never feed your dog before training! Of course, rewards, treats given as praise, are an exception.

Adapt the exercises to the age, breed and size of your dog.

Always have fresh water with you.

Include breaks between exercises.

Always conduct and end training in a positive way so that your dog enjoys the joint activity.

Exercise for puppies and developing dogs should only be carried out after consulting a vet and on the basis of this to avoid growth and health problems.

Please make sure that your dog always uses the equipment provided for its intended purpose and always take care of its physical well-being.

The correct order of use of the equipment in the dog runs is: hoop, slalom, bridge. This order is the most enjoyable for the dogs.

If you find that any of the equipment has been damaged or is otherwise impaired, please call the staff of the Józsefvárosi Gazdálkodási Központ at +36-1/782-3537 or email varosuzemeltetes@jgk.hu

Thank you! Have a nice time!
