Smile We went to agility yesterday!

As the title says......there was a 'have-a-go' session at a local dog club so we thought we'd pop along....and Koda loved it!

Looks like he has a new hobby!!

Re: We went to agility yesterday!

Oh, that's a shame! Are you still doing agility with him? It's so good for loads of different reasons. One of my friends eventually joined our group (after about 2 years of nagging from me!) and it has improved the bond she's got with him X100!! He's a rescue and has a few problems and it's great to see him concentrating so intently on him as she gives him direction. It's also improved her confidence with him.

How are you getting on with it?

Re: We went to agility yesterday!

Aww thats cool. Once you get the bug.....................lol
I haven't taken bella for ages, her obedience wasn't really as good as I thought it was for it and she didn't really listen. Hoping to try it again with her a bit later on tho. But for now I go and run the trainers collies lol. Glad you both enjoyed and good luck for your next lesson

Re: We went to agility yesterday!

Am pleased for you. We found out that Toby loved flyball at a local dog show that had a different classes so the dogs could try out new things.

Toby was amazing at understanding flybalkl but not so good with the agility. We had nearly completed the course when I suddenly realised that I was going over the obstacles & Toby was runing along the outside alomst cherring me on!! I don;t know how we managed to reverse our roles!

Re: We went to agility yesterday!

Well, the agility bit was great, he seems to be getting the hang of it.....but not pleased with his behaviour otherwise

He's very vocal when we turn up, which isn't a problem really, and calms down as time goes on.....but while standing in the queue waiting for our turn, he lunged at another dog and got his mouth round her neck - there was no seperation required - she yelped, we yanked, he let go.....his tail was wagging all the time, but it seemed a bit more than 'playing'......

And he seems to have been re-named by the trainer, lol,.....Snowball! (guess its cos he can't remember all the names....and Koda is a big ball of white fluff!)

Re: We went to agility yesterday!

Aww at least he's getting the agility bit, that's great! At our club loads of the dogs bark when they first get there as they are so excited! Lol but normally once they've been warmed up over a few jumps soon settle down. There is a little parsons jack russell in the small dogs class that just barks for the whole hour lol.
