Basic Agility Class #3
Tonight's agility class went really, really well.
The first run was tire, jump, rear cross, jump, double jump, dogwalk, tunnel. We did a few variations, mostly with which side of the tunnel to enter and sometimes came all of the way back. The instructor droned about menial things for about 10 minutes while the half of the class with her got increasingly frustrated at her blabbing. I get it, she is experienced. However, I am hands-on with this and really just wanted to try it and then get comments. During our run, which was really good up to this point, she interrupted us to chastise me for not feeding on the ground. I was frustrated and got a bit defensive and even offended when she grumbled about wasting money on trials. Ugh. Oh well, I was having fun with my dog! And Duncan was AWESOME.
Move on to the other half of the club with the other instructor, who I adore. A-frame, teeter? No problem! A-frame, wrap tunnel? Fine! Table, triple jump, tunnel, A-frame? Wonderful! Table, triple jump, tunnel, teeter? Great! When we did A-frame starts I had to hold onto my Dunc after I took off his lead, or he would zoom to them! Smart little guy heard her call the order and took off after it. Sigh. I can't exactly be mad though. I just learned to have a firmer hold of my slippery pup.
We did good, but I didn't even attempt the weaves. We beat the tire, the double jump, and the triple jump. What more could I ask for?
Small brag, our "Go" and "Out" are really good. Thank you, Flyball!
