Hope your Sunnyday was as sunny as mine. Mine was packed with fun as I went to agility training! The event with the inedibles did not repeat itself. I did look but the thing was nowhere to be found.  That may have been a good thing.

The trainer said that I’m very fast on my feet and a quick study. This time, all the obstacles we had practiced in previous sessions were spread out over the training field. M said the course was hard work but I can’t imagine why as she never jumped/ ran/ crawled through/ over tunnels, hurdles, boardwalks, or A-frames. Us canines did the hard work. The Ms and Ds only had to point fingers to direct us while they walked on the inside of the course. To be fair the Ms and Ds did have to give us treats. That is an important if not the most important part of the game.

What the agility course looks like? Well, I had to start on the boardwalk, then jump through the tire, turn sharply and jump over a hurdle, go to the platform and stand/ sit on it,  jump over another hurdle,  crawl through a tunnel, and then run over the A-frame. That was so much fun, I could do it over and over again.  Not sure if you noticed but the tunnel is now a piece of cake.  Yes, it did help that there were crumbs of some sort of cake all over it.

Mission Accomplished; waiting for a second turn

Two weeks from now will be my last basic training session and the trainer asked if we want to continue with Agility Training 1 in May. Of course, who would not want that?!

Have a great week and don’t forget: jumping through hoops can be fun,
