Agility star in the making!

Just come back with Pepper from her first proper agility class and I am a very proud mummy!

She did a straight tunnel, a curved one and one of those fabric ones they have to push through (what are they called?) I just pointed her at it and she was straight through, no hesitation.

She did a dog walk (without me even asking ) and an A-frame, again with no hesitation. I credit our practice on the benches in the park for this!

She was a bit puzzled by jumps and tried to go under but with a bit of encouragement and some liver cake she got that quickly and was soon doing a figure of 8 for me, over the jump, back to me round the side, over the jump and so on....

It's obviously worn her out, she's sleeping like a baby, what more could I ask for?

YaY Pepper. Its a great feeling isnt it? Jack and I have been going since April and I still come away from every session gobsmacked!!! I just having trouble keeping up with him!!!

Milo my big lad starts pre-agility this month. He cant jump cos he's still a baby but he can learn tunnels and turns and stuff.

Pepper will love it and they really do sleep after!!

Ah ha, thanks Catrinsparkles!

Thanks all for your kind comments and I'm sure I'll be back asking for hints soon!

I can't imagine her slowing down enough to manage a weave, although I'm thinking liver cake will help with that and I don't think she's going to like the see-saw thingy, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it....
