Doggie Agility Class
I took River to his first agility class a couple months ago. It's been over for a while now (it was a 6 week class) but I thought I'd share.
He freakin loves climbing on top of things and running through tunnels so I always wanted to get him into agility. Sadly I had never been able to find any classes in this area. Late fall of last year I found a contact list of a bunch of agility people and sent out a bunch of emails. I got several responses but they were all an hour + away. I finally decided my want to do at least one class with him was greater than my un-want to drive that far so I commited to a class that's about an hour away from his daycare (Cody) and a little more than an hour away from our house. It's in NY but very close to the MA border.
We had a great time. The drive ended up being not too bad. I think he enjoyed the agility stuff, he got tons of yummy treats (to make him do what I wanted him to do haha), and he got to play with the other three dogs in the class.
Chelsea even went with us and sat through one of the classes :)
Here are the pics I took (and the teacher took) on the last night of class: http://infinite.darklight.com/agilclass1/
I have signed us up for "part 2" class which starts tomorrow. I am kind of dreading the drive but I'll be glad I went. River does really well with all the agility stuff. If we practiced enough I bet I could compete with him. I'd be really interested in doing that but I have no where close that I could practice and I highly doubt he could compete without multiple practices every week. I guess I'll see how this next class goes.
