No worries, Sudilar, once the dog gets an idea of what's going on, most of them get really revved up for an agility session. It should also help teach her to pay better attention to you because you'll be telling her what fun thing to go on next. Just start low and slow and you'll be amazed. Agility is one of the reasons I used to use a tunnel as a socialization exercise in my puppy classes. Some of the puppies would really balk at going into it, but once through, 99+% of them LOVED it. I even had one student that went and laid in the tunnel during the rest of class. He was a riot. I used a child's play tunnel for the class and it was big enough for most of them (except the English Mastiff and the Great Dane). Try it anywhere. Good Luck on classes.
Congrats, Tats, that's really something. I hope you keep up either through continuing classes or some competitions. It's really awesome to see some of these dogs do their thing.
