Count the behaviours for Agility

[adojrts]

Hey Agility Folks, lets play a game. (I'm bored, can ya tell?)
What number of behaviours do you come up with, that we have to train for our dogs to perform in Agility?
Off the top of my head, I suspect it is at least over a couple hundred.
Anyone want to play?

I dont get what you mean, but then again still newish to agility.

Can you give an example?

Proofed start line wait. I could dance three jumps in and she'd stay put

I hated ob behaviours.. I never ever taught her stay actually. I only ever needed it once we started agility.. So while versatile and not an 'agility behaviour' it was for us.. Or started as one.

Hmm...
Sit, down, stay, wait. Jump, jump long, weave, tunnel, chute, climb, teeter, walk it, table, drop... we use "eeeeasy" too. Touch. Out, around, here... I'm trying to run through a course in my head and think of what we use... "Go" also, and "okay" as a release from the 2o2o... "watch me" isn't a command that's used on course, so to speak, but I think it still counts.
Okay, that's all I can think of right now, LOL. That's 22.

Hmm...ok, I am sure there are tons, but I'll stick to only the one I teach my guys:

sit
stay
ok
down
target
touch
over
weave
walk it
scramble
tire
table
tunnel
chute
teeter
look back
get out
back
spin
go around
dog's name

I think that is all...at least thats all I can think of at the moment

Wow, hmm...We use the commands:

Sit, stay, watch (for the start line)
Over
Out
Around
Go (very useful command -- almost like her release word)
Tunnel
Weave
Climb (a-frame)
Walk (dogwalk)
Touch is our targeting command, which doesnt work to well.
Wait (telling her to slow down)
Here (basically used when I want her to turn instead of go straight)

I also use Here and Out as discrimination commands.

We dont have a whole lot of commands, mostly hand signals. And we compete in NADAC, so Table, Teeter, Chute, and Tire arent needed. She knows all of them except the teeter though, just not important lol.
