Ngaphezu kwezinzuzo eziningi lawa makhono anganikeza inja yakho, futhi asiza ukuqinisa isibopho phakathi kwakho nomngane wakho onoboya.

Sikhulume no-Shandy Blake, umqeqeshi wezinja oqeqeshiwe, okhulume ngezinzuzo zokuqeqeshwa kobuchule bezinja.

Izinzuzo zendlela ye-agility

1. Ukushukunyiswa ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo

Uma inja yakho isivele inohlelo lokuzivocavoca, kuhle lokho. Kodwa uma unomuzwa wokuthi akaphumuli, ungenza ukuzivocavoca kwakho kuhluke kakhulu. Inja kanye nawe ngokwakho ungathola isithukuthezi uma wenza into efanayo usuku nosuku. Ngokuqeqesha isilwane sakho ezintweni ezintsha, njengesifundo sokuvimbela izinja, ungasinikeza ukukhuthazwa okudingekile kokuziphatha nokomzimba.

2. Thuthukisa amakhono akho okulalela

Ukuqeqeshwa kobuchule kuyindlela ewusizo yokwenza imiyalo efundwe yinja njengengxenye yesifundo sokuqeqesha esiyisisekelo. Lesi yisinyathelo sokuqala uma unentshisekelo yokuyisa inja yakho emiqhudelwaneni yobungcweti ngokuzayo.

“Ngisho noma ungahlosile ukuncintisana emiqhudelwaneni yokushesha,” kusho uBlake, “uzobona ukuthi inja isiwalalelisise amazwi akho ... Ngenxa yalokho, inja ifunda ukukulalela kangcono ekuphileni kwansuku zonke, ngoba isibonelo, ufika ngokushesha obizweni futhi alalele imiyalo kusukela ekuqaleni."

3. Ukwandisa ukuzethemba

Ukuqeqeshwa kobuchule kwenza izinja zizethembe kakhulu. UShandy Blake: “Unika inja ithuba lokuqaphela ukuthi ingagijima, igxume, igibele izithiyo futhi idlule kuzo. Kuyasiza ngempela ezinye izinja ezinamahloni ukuba zinqobe uvalo lwazo.”

4. Ukuqwashisa ngomzimba

Ukuqeqeshwa kwe-agility kusiza izilwane ezifuywayo zithuthukise ukuqwashisa ngomzimba, uBlake akubiza ngokuthi "ukwazi ukuthi isidladla ngasinye sikuphi" futhi sithuthukise ibhalansi. NgokukaShandy, izinja eziqaphela kahle umzimba nokulinganisela okuhle “azinamathuba amancane kakhulu okulimala phakathi kweminye imisebenzi, njengokujikijela induku noma iFrisbee.”

Izinto Okufanele Uzicabange

Uma unentshisekelo ekuqeqesheni ukushesha komdlwane, u-Blake uncoma ukuthatha isifundo sokuqeqesha ukulalela esiyisisekelo kuqala. Uthi, “Inja eyaziyo imiyalo ethi ‘hlala’, ‘yima’ kanye nokuthi ‘kimi’ kuyoba lula kakhulu ukuyilawula kanye nasezintweni ezisebenza ngokushelelayo.”

Kuwukuhlakanipha ukuqeqesha inja yakho kancane kancane, ikakhulukazi uma ingumdlwane noma inja endala. Uma isilwane sakho esifuywayo singaphansi konyaka ubudala, khetha izisindo eziphansi futhi ugcine ama-reps abe amancane.

Khumbula ukukhuthaza inja yakho ngesikhathi sokuqeqeshwa. Imiklomelo emincane iyindlela engcono kakhulu yokukhuthaza. Kuye ngokuthi inja yakho ithanda ini, ungayinikeza ukuphatha okunempilo, ukuyincoma ngamazwi, noma ukuyinika isilwane esifuywayo esithambile ngemva komsebenzi ophumelelayo.

Uma usuqalile ukuqeqeshwa, uzobona ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kobuchule nokushesha kungaba mnandi kanjani. Ukuqeqeshwa kwe-Agility kuwukuzivocavoca okuhle hhayi nje kwenja yakho, kodwa nakuwe futhi, futhi kuzosiza ukuqinisa isibopho phakathi kwakho.
