I thought that agility training can only be started once the dog is 1 year old. Don't worry, poodle's are actually very smart. In the meantime, maybe you can start obedience training her.

Scotch,I spoke with a professional trainer in Malaysia,and he said that all the booster shots have to be completed then you can take a dog for training.So,I guess if my dog is 3 months now and if shes done with her booster shots means I can take her for training.Thanks anyway it means a lot to me(but I still wanna train in my house first before I take her out) but remember I still need tips to train my dog so you're welcomed to post here !

Hi Sure, of course we can be friends.
I appreaciate that you want my advice, but I'm also new to the whole training thing. I got Scotch a year ago. Do you mind telling me what booster shots are?
But if you mean training like sit, down or stay, I may be able to help you. Scotch has already mastered those commands.
If you want your dog to learn more, additional tricks like 'high-five' and 'bow' can also be taught. But I have no experience in training a puppy. I got Scotch when he was 11 months. He didn't know anything then. He didn't even have a name.
As for the agility training, you can do research on them on the internet. There will be a lot of information. From what I read, for the jumping, the dog must be at least 1 year old. But before that, you can try doing the weave poles and such will doesn't require any jumping.
But I think for agility, the dog must know how to 'sit' and 'down'. They must do this on the pause table.

Her name is Latte.By the way , I thought her 'sit; and 'here' but i haven't thought her 'stay'.(down is under process :D).Anyway , booster shots are : after initial immunization, a booster injection or booster dose is a re-exposure to the immunizing antigen. It is intended to increase immunity against that antigen back to protective levels after it has been shown to have decreased or after a specified period of time.Looking forward to your reply. Tlee
