Agility

Tonight was Dahlia and my first night of agility classes! We are taking the classes at a local humane society and the instructor happens to be a fellow puppy raiser so that's always fun to be with other raisers! :) Dahlia did really well! We did some introducing to the jumps and tunnel and also talked about stretching and warming you dog up before doing agility. We also did recalls. Dahlia was great at everything! She is already familiar with the jumps and tunnels, but it was good for her to practice. I also got to practice working with a clicker. With the guide dog puppies we use the word yes, kind of like the click of a clicker, but I have never used a clicker before so I was trying to stop myself from saying yes. Dahlia already knows what the clicker is since they use it in formal training so right now it's me learning! :) We have classes until June 20th and then I'll probably do the 2nd agility class with her and then hopefully (crossing our fingers and paws!) she will be ready to compete at State Fair with me! That's my goal, I only have this summer and next summer in 4-H and I'd really like to do agility with her. I don't have any pictures and probably won't until my last few classes when my sister will be able to come.
