Introduction to Agility

[*Nat*]

Mmm Bev told me off for clicking my fingers – have stopped now  ;D

i used to click my tongue  ::) try not to now.

so pleased you are enjoying it mucge, nooch is just a star! but i bet its easier for him than many other dogs due to his training and complete trust, easier for a dog to learn something new if he trusts you and knows what you are saying to him  ;D

He is like no other dog I have met – very special – but then I am sure we all feel the same about our pooches.   ;D  We are very in tune with each other.  I know when the slightest thing is wrong with him – see stuff that others in household dont.  He is same with me – when I am unwell or even with just a headache he senses it and looks out for me.  ;D  I can honestly say I totally adore him even when he is being a minx  ;D

He was tired this morning – had to lure him out of bed for a walk – as soon as we were back he was back on bed all snuggled up  ;D

At least you’ve got out for a walk  ::) I shall be attempting second go in a minute  :-X

Joe and I are supposed to start Obedience for Agility soon – Am not sure what to expect, he isn’t the most obedient doggie and I don’t want to look silly or get into trouble when he chases after the other doggies.

Any tips?

which club are you looking at ?

[moominhater]

Beacon Agility  – Streetly way.  We’ve got to do the Obedicence course first.  Am nervious – what if we can’t do it properly and get into trouble.

yep i know who they are

dont stress thats the best thing to do

[denisemcleod]

From what I know (or used to know) Beacon are very good. And patient. And produce some very good dogs and handlers.

Who are you training with – do you know?

And then on to Sutton Park for a mass dog walk. Lucky you!

A lady called Tracey (sorry, don’t know surname) does the obedience classes.  I’m just worried about looking daft whilst shouting ‘COME, SIT, STAY, LEAVE THAT LADY ALONE,  😮 STOP TRYING TO MOUNT THAT CORGIE  😮 , SIT, SIT, SIT COME BACK…..’ :-\

Well if its the Tracey that I think it is, then you are in very very safe hands.  🙂
She is an excellent handler and a very nice lady. 🙂
enjoy it and relax!

Say Hi from me! Denise

We keep doggies on leads when it is not their turn  ;D  My pooch does not do leads – well he does now but not by choice  😉  he sits remarkably well when it is not his turn and has not misbehaved very much at all. 

I get more embarrased that he is so enthusiastic and charges around the course  ::)  When I am calm he is calm so you need to relax a bit more. 

Take some good quality treats – his favourite kind – favourite toy – keep his focus on them if he doesnt focus well on you.  You will love it and the obedience class will give you loads more confidence and better management.

Be assured no matter what doggie does – they will most undoubtedly have seen it before  ;D
