Monday Night's Dog Agility Class
July 28, 2009
Macy and I had a really good class last night. In dog agility "class" = "practice".
First we have a fabulous instructor -- Elizabeth Evans -- and thank dog she had the foresight to put up a building. No building would mean no class last night.
We were focusing on a two jump and turn sequence. We often see them at the start line. I may have to break down and get Clean Run Course Design (agility course program). She had us do it 4 ways. Sadly the two best ways for Macy involved a lead out something she doesn't have.
Lead out == stay at the start line. This darling cannot stay and I do work on it at home. She can stay if I have her in a down and it on the sofa near her. Much more than that and it isn't happening.
Wendell, our other instructor had a nice little course that involved a wicked little serpentine (basically a line of jumps that the dog jumps away then towards the handler at least three times).
