We've discovered agility!!
« on: September 02, 2013, 08:52:11 AM »
and Rufus loves it :luv: :luv: we we're at a fun dog show yesterday and had a go at the fun agility course. It was only his 2nd ever go at an agility course and Rufus popped round like a pro! (nearly tripping me up in his excitement), we then had a go at the timed course and came 3rd :D :D winning a rosette and some lovely goodies. Off to find somewhere that does agility training now, can't believe my nervous little boy did so well!

Well done!!  It is hugely addictive and fantastic fun.  Have a look on www.agilitynet.co.uk - they have clubs and trainers listed on there so hopefully you'll find one close to where you are.

Glad you both had fun

I was helping on an agility ring yesterday at a fun dog show, it was great to see people come out with huge smiles on their faces & so proud of their dogs

I can see you are in ?Nottingham but not sure where abouts, but there are some great Clubs in Nottinghamshire.
Good luck with the addictive world of agility

Well after nearly 6 months it looks like we are starting agility in April on a beginners course. The lady who runs it was recommended to me, and having spoken to her about Rufus and his issues I feel confident that this will all help with his problems.  Can't wait!

Agility really is great fun. Blod had her 3rd foundation session this morning and seems to really enjoy. She's 18 months  so not a pup any more but I'm glad I waited a while because she can concentrate for longer now. We're lucky the class is nice and small so very relaxed.

Stupidly excited as we're starting agility tonight, nice small class of 5 so will be a bit easier for Rufus as he won't be around so many strangers. Really can't wait  :D just hope I'm fit enough if there's lots of running involved ;)
