OK so we got these poles in our Family Room. Well, Tasha is afraid of them. She will NOT go passed them, never mind go THROUGH them! So Mum has to keep them pushed aside, and she just brings them out for practices.

Lacey, Sugar and Marlin Darlin are also doing the practices, but none of them likes Agility as I do. And Tasha, well, Mum keeps working with her. Got her so far that she had THREE feet over the base to eat a treat, but she would NOT go through, she snagged that treat and backed right up!

Now at the class, the instructor keeps talking about how we learn something at our home and then we may not do it in class or at a competition because of distractions. What is she talking about? This is what goes on while I am practicing at home: (From the left, Marlin and Sugar)


All my pack mates are behind a gate in the Living Room. But they know I am getting treats so they will NOT be quiet. It gets noisy around here! I don't know how Mum expects me to learn this stuff, a boy needs to concentrate on his weave poles! From the left: Sugar, Marlin and Tasha in back.


And it is LOUD:

That is Sugar doing all that worrying noise. And Marlin he gives big loud barks!

From the left, Sugar, Tasha, Lacey and Marlin. Don't they look like they are in jail? BOL, BOL!


And meantime I am getting all the treats! I love this!


Now if you noticed, Mum has to put a chair in front of the gate. Look closely, you will see that one space between the bars is larger than the other spaces. That is because a "stop" had to be taken out, to make the gate fit that wide opening. All the girls can get through that gap in the middle. Marlin, he tries and then he gets STUCK! You should hear his hollering THEN!


Sometimes he can back out but mostly, Mum had to stop my training and go get Marlin unstuck. So now she puts the chair there, to stop all of them.

I am enjoying my classes very much. Bye PT! Woofs and Wags! - Willy
