Agility Training
I have never seen a more strange craze than agility training. It seems to, as far as I can tell, have started with pets and spread to their owners. The idea of agility training is simple. It really consists of a bunch of dog agility training equipment to teach your pup all kinds of neat tricks. There are hoops that he can jump through, poles that he can weave in and out of , and even long tunnels that he or she can run through. I suppose that many pet owners find dog agility training equipment to be a fun way to exercise their dog, and maybe to teach him or her some new tricks to show off for the neighbors as well.
This agility training can come in handy for dog shows. In them, the dogs have to catch Frisbees, run courses, jump over obstacles, and perform all of the other tasks that they get to practice when using the dog agility training equipment. I find dog shows to be a pretty stupid and boring idea. I do not see why anyone would watch them, or put in the time of them, but I guess living your shattered dreams vicariously through your dogs is not any stranger than what people normally do. Unlike the more typical habit of living dreams vicariously through children, it seems to be perfectly harmless, so yeah for dog shows.
But the agility training equipment sold for human use just strikes me as bizarre – no two ways about it. These people run the same kinds of courses that their animals do, stepping in and out of rungs of ladders laid on the ground, weaving too and fro through various types of obstacles – and for what? It is not like they are doing agility training just for a specific sports. That I could understand, although sports are kind of dumb. But still, if you play soccer, you practice dribbling the ball. If you play basketball, you practice another form of dribbling the ball. What does the ladder running prepare you for? Professional mine field races? The whole thing strikes me as rather fishy, just another new exercise fad disguised as some kind of new, high performance device. The only agility training which I plan on undergoing is one that allows me to spot stupid products ahead of time, and stay out of their way. And thats the honest truth.
