Yeah for Star!!! She "graduated" from basic agility yesterday! What a relief! Nervous, protective, defensive mother-of-lab that I am to my little "Spark-o-matic" 2000! We all got diplomas and special homemade "cookies" tied with bows. All the dogs were so sweet and we all reveled in each other's successes. Luckily, the class is held at the kennel where I work and we can use all the equiptment and practice over the winter Let's just say when Star was good, she was AWESOME; when she was bad, usually when she was tired at the end of class, she was really bad!!! (e.g. "I think it's easier to go UNDER the tire than through it!") Star says she's going to work on making Mom a better handler, and then her "Star" will really shine! Thanks for listening!
