Pre-Agility Class
Our pre-agility class ended their last class of session 4 with a series of short runs.. I am pleased to say they all did very well.. All students were completing their first agility class with new dogs.. All dogs completed our basic Manners 101 class... and due to age all are running well below thier jump height, just working on sit stays, running between the uprights, hitting the contacts and working on the weave poles..
Connie and Cooper
Connie has been thru the agility grid with 2 other dogs... Her first dog was a Dalmatian who unfortunately passed away much too early... Her second dog was a Dobie who competed for a number of years but developed health problems and had to be retired. Suddenly Connie found herself without a partner... BINGO turns out Connie's daughter has a dog sitting around doing nothing.. So in comes Mr. Cooper
Ruth and Nemoy
This is Ruth's third dog doing agility... As her 2 older dogs have reached their pinnacle, it was time to get a new dog into the system.. After some serious looking Ruth decided on a rescue dog from an organization in Hamilton area and brought home Nemoy.. A something, something and something mix... Seems everybody sees something different... Building on the success of her 2 Mach dogs Ruth got right to her obedience training.. Manners 101 was completed and so Mr Nemoy's agility career got started..
Steve and Reilly (great name)
Steve and Reilly are the true newbies to agility as this is Steve's first run at the sport and this Reilly's first go at it as well.. The team has made great progress and should be able to compete by mid 2016 if all goes well...
