Agility
Learning Obstacles is No Obstacle for Me
Our second class was just as exciting and fun as our first. We came home energized to continue our agility training.
Touch and Luring Through Weave Poles

We Have Taken the Plunge and Bought Our First Equipment
We have invested in our first agility equipment. For us, they are an easy beginner’s way to practice the weave poles.
Our First Agility Class
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….

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
Coming to Terms with the Terms
We are all so excited about Wrigley’s First Agility Class tomorrow night. Jenn and I will both be working him on the obstacles, and hopefully eventually in trials. Because there will be two of us working with him, it is very important that we agree on and use the words we will use as commands.
