Agility Private Lesson

Last Sunday, Amy and I had our last private agility lesson. Once again it was a lot of fun. We started out doing a jumping series. It was pretty easy for me, a little harder for Amy. See, in agility she has to do a lot of thinking. In class, I get to practice jumping and running and getting used to the obstacles, while she has to learn rear crosses and front crosses and blind crosses and whole bunch of other things. To see a video of me doing the jump series, click here.

Here are some other photos of me. As you can see, I'm so happy to be doing agility, especially in this private class session, then I don't have worry at all about other dogs.

This is me practicing my contacts at the end of the A-frame. See that yellow part? Your back paws have to touch that yellow part. You'd think that'd be easy, but it's even easier to just zoom past it and forget.

Here I'm listening attentively to what our instructor, Melissa, has to say about the next thing we're going to do...I can't wait!

The tunnel! That's one of my favorite things to do, I love racing through it!

Ooooooh, the magical bait bag holds all sorts of good things to eat. This night it was hot dogs. Yum!

And finally, here I am on the teeter. That's probably the scariest piece of equipment because it moves. Right now, Melissa still has to hold on the teeter and set it down slowly. One day I'm supposed to be the one to make it pivot down.

Tomorrow we have our last flyball practice before the big tournament next weekend! I'm going to practicing with the entire 4 dog team. Wish me luck! Amy seems really excited about the tournament, I hope that I do well!
