:D I'm so happy with Ivy's agility training. We've been spending extra time on the weaves, and she's been catching on better than I expected. Here are two videos of our progress so far. The poles are slanted right now, but I'm planning to straighten them a bit over the next few days.

I just realised she was looking at my hand the entire time when she's on my left side. Whoops! :o

Woo Hoo!! Good Girl Ivy!! :D
I really need to look into getting Zoee into something like that. But I don't think Bruce would let me set anything up in our backyard. So maybe we'd have to come practice at your house Sophie. LOL
Can you send me some info on classes and stuff?? Please. :D

AW, good girl Ivy. And I think she only looked toward you near the end anticipating her reward. She (and you) did very well.

Thanks guys :) We've straightened the poles a bit and she's so comfortable with the obstacle. She's picking up speed and accuracy, but I can't push her any further because of her age. I'm sooo excited about her future "career" =P

That is wonderful! I bought the Agility Starter Kit for Sugar, we've been getting the back yard in shape and I'll be trying it out soon.

I wanted to take her to classes, just for fun and bonding time, not for competition. But she is terrified of other dogs and when they saw her reaction to being in the reception area, they said it wouldn't be good for her. So I will be trying it on my own.

Taz Zoe, here is one of many sites which may help you find things near you.
