O is for Optimism

Agility keeps both dog and handler fit and healthy. As well as striving to achieve success in the form of ribbons and progress made, striving to keep/get fit and improve both of your fitness levels is also an achievable and motivational goal when you participate in agility. There are so many more aspects of agility, you see! So ensure that, when you set yourself and/or your dog a fitness related goal to work towards, you remain optimistic throughout. Sometimes, with just a tiny bit of negativity in the mind, you can become both physically and mentally exhausted and down. This can easily and quickly rip the enjoyment out of the sport and fitness in an instant.

So, when working towards fitness goals and keeping you both fit whilst using agility as your core area, you must remain positive in order to pull the best out of you and your dog, allow it to shine out, and achieve your hopes and goals. You will both achieve so much, staying healthy and fit.


Keep at it, work hard, have a good time in the process, and you will reach your fitness goals in no time, alongside your precious pooch, who will also achieve the same if you do this. Remain optimistic, and you can do anything through the amazing sport of dog agility.
