And I've lost count of the number of times at agility comps the handler has had to chase the dog to get it back on a lead. Am I the only one who shows on here who's sick to the back teeth of people with little or no understanding of what we do trying to tell us how to do it better.
(By the way that was a general comment having just read the thread not aimed at you Lyn)
I also said obedience and HTM NOT agility and flyball---although I then explained my own expectations in both of those sports.
Agility doesn't consist of loads of dogs running off----it would be chaos if it did LOL at that!

erm,if a dog is not controllable offlead it shouldn't be doing agility
either way two wrongs dont make a right.
