We’re back taking agility classes! We couldn’t be happier. The teacher this time is Gwyn and she is amazing. Gwyn and her Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Gus have been invited to the AKC Agility Invitationals in Orlando, Florida this December! Only the top 5 dogs of each breed are accepted into the Invitationals. We have learned so much in the three classes we have completed. Here are a couple of videos made of Wrigley last night!

Learn it Slow – Get it Right

The choice to take the Agility Foundations class was such a good decision for us. I love the work and I love learning at a slow pace and getting it right. My handlers are happy because they like an instructor that is able to explain things or try different approaches that fit an individual dog.

Sometimes in training, as in life, stepping back is the quickest way to move forward. So, it is with my Agility Training.

It is a Balancing Act

We are almost through with our beginning agility class and I’ve learned a lot of new things. Last night we spent some time working on the dog walk, jumps, the tunnel and pause table.

Our second class was just as exciting and fun as our first. We came home energized to continue our agility training.

I didn’t get to say much in the podcast, in the first part I was too busy crying and flirting with Burch and in the second part I was napping. Here’s my side of the story….  Class was great fun, I completed all the obstacles as well as anyone else in my class (I may have been better than some, but I don’t want to brag). So far, my favorite parts (aside from all of it) are the tunnel and the tire. I think it might be because, no one holds my leash when I run through them. I hear … this spot continues

My first attempt off-leash with Agility obstacles: It was pretty funny! I was too excited. And remember, there is no obstacle you can’t get around if you’re willing to run, jump, tunnel or weave. Wrigley
