You will need to find a good trainer. Dogs need to be taught how to do the equipment or they can be seriously injured. It takes about 2 years of training before you will be ready to compete.
Sorry I have been gone so long, I'm now training 6 days a week. Getting the dogs competition ready is hard! I also managed to hatched a pair of goslings and 11 ducklings who are in their new homes and doing well.
Here are some updated photos of my gang.
And finally some pics of my dogs...
Thanks! It's been a bit crazy, but I have hatched 2 goslings and 11 ducklings who are all in their new homes now. I'm still slowly downsizing my flock, but everyone is happy and healthy.
I now train my dogs 6 days a week and we have a lot of meets and shows coming up. Every other weekend we...

The gosling is doing great! And I have another 1 hatching right now. So he/she will have a buddy soon.
Here is the darling today.
I got a big surprise this morning. I woke up to a new hatched gosling! I set that egg on the 14th and was NOT expecting it to hatch this soon. So far the little guy seems tone ok, but lonely. I gave him a stuffed penguin to cuddle with and spend lots of time with him. I hope this little guy...
I'm sorry for the delay, I stayed with him. I made him warm mash, scrambled egg mixed with mash, save a chick. I wrapped him in a cut out sock to keep his belly off the bedding and away from poop to try and stop infection, cleaned his belly with beta-dine. I knew I was losing him and I was, and...
