Agility Training - Level 1

I just graduated from a six-week agility class where Tim and I learned how to navigate off-leash through an obstacle course. It's a sport that involves physical skills, accuracy, patience, and teamwork. For our final class, we had to tackel a course with 14 obstacles including several jumps, a tire, tunnel, and pause table.

The benefits listed in the brocure include

  • Increases physical and metal capabilities of the dog and handler
  • Provides exercise while strengthening the dog and handler bond
  • Helps alleviate stress by focusing on fun!
  • Builds confidence for shy, timid and unsure dogs
  • Gives dogs the enjoyment of learning and accomplishing new things

While Tim enjoyed the applause, I preferred the cheese treats and enjoyed laughing when I didn't follow his instructions.

Thanks Stacey Hawks, our patient instructor with the delicious hot dog treats, and the DoGone Fun training program.
