Brad Pitt does Agility

Maureen and Brad

It has been about 2 years since Brad Pitt made his way into our world.  He was brought to us after 2 people had captured him running loose.  The idea was we would temporarily hold him for them till a better situation could be found.  One person returned to donate some money for expenses the other (who's wife works for a local rescue organization and a neighbor as well) was never heard from again.  As those in the know, know the easy part of pet rescue is getting the dog, the hard part is finding a home.  And with this rescue being a pit bull it was and is nearly impossible.  So we accepted our fate and Brad became part of the family. That was about 2 years ago and today Mr. Brad has attended a year of Manners 101 training.  Not because he is dumb but like our other dogs we wanted him to be very good and being a pit bull we wanted him to be good around other dogs and people and therefore we exposed him to lots of  things.  After the 101 classes Maureen decided that Brad needed a job and that job would be agility so he was signed up for pre-agility.  Brad did well taking to all the obstacles especially if it involved food ( cheese being the best) he was all for it.  He spent 2 sessions in pre-agility and is just completing his 3rd session in Agility 101.  Maureen is not looking for him to compete but to keep him active and around others.  To date he is doing well in all phases of the game.  His only draw back has been the weave poles as he is a little timid of those sticks being in the way. But progress is being made and I am sure Mr. Brad will want to please Ms Maureen and eventually do them (more so I think he will do them for his treat)  So here are some candid shots of Maureen and Brad.
