Ahh,.....not going to Findon, but best thin is to have fun. Try and relax, and remember to talk to the other people - they have all been there!

Hope you have a great day

Wear comfortable shoes and take twice as many treats as you think you`ll need!
Have fun.

Take plenty of small treats, amazing how many we used to get through at our classes but I tried to use carrots, apples and fruit as my dog likes fruit and he is a bit greedy but obviously you need to take what your dog enjoys working for. When I took my female Kerry she wasn't interested in treats but would be very focused if I got her rubber ball out.

Don't forget your clicker if using one of course!

"Being very nosey (I used to train in Norwich)

We don't go anywhere at the moment Tassle. We used to go to a class in West Earlham run by Roger (forgotten surname). Sadly we stopped going as I was in the early stages of pregnancy and feeling very sick/tired and then we lost the baby so I couldn't face going back to explain why I hadn't been for so long if you can see what I mean.

We are looking for a good agility class in Norwich if you know of any?
(the last one we went to the trainer let another dog have a pop at Cherry although I had told her she had been attacked at her last agility class and I had been years rehabilitiating her after a large dog attacked her).
