Agility Class #7
Tonight was a great last class. The format of the class was to go around and showcase each dog having success at each obstacle. We all gathered around one, two, or three in a row and applauded whatever happened. I have to say that any mistakes are all mine. Duncan was great. He did get over-excited, but I think he was just correcting some bad handling.
The video:
The one thing that sticks out to me more than anything else is that blatant missed contact on our first ever full run-through. If I had been on the fence about 2o2o training, I have now fallen over it. It is too dangerous to have that kind of high-impact jump. I'm sure that will take up a good deal of our time for the next few weeks - at the very, very least.
Other than that one glaring error, the others are very minor. Not slowing before the weaves, underestimating how far I needed to go with a front-cross, and forgetting I had to brace the teeter (thankfully I got that one in time!).
Positively, I think that I have a future agility maniac on my hands. Duncan loves to run and enjoys every obstacle we do (now, of course). High points are tunnels, jumps, the A-frame (considering our starting point), dogwalk...
I am enthused to start our Basic Agility class soon.
