Last Wednesday night, Sophie and I had our last beginners agility class. It was only a 5 week course and we are starting the next level right away.
During the 5 weeks, we worked on clicker training, shaping behaviours with clicker training, targeting objects, and a basic introducing to most of the agility equipment (tunnels, chutes, jumps, tire jumps, dog walks, a frames, and a wobble board.) By the 4th classes we were able to do 2 or 3 obstacles together. On our last class, we practices 2-3 obstacles together then joined all of them. There were 11 in total, 7 tunnels, an a frame, and pause table, and a dog walk. It was set up to be very basic and by no means did anyone or their dog do great, but we all had fun. We did it twice each. The first time Sophie and I went, she did really well, but stopped between obstacles to rub at hear gentle leader which I left on her. The second time I was told to take it off her, and well....her concentration went as well! But like I said, all-in-all I think she get a wonderful job!
