Agility

Kirby did really well at agility last week. I was gonna bring Hope after turning in her shot records last week, but Kirby did so well, I'm defiantly going to continue with him. He really seemed to enjoy it - he loves learning new things.


Molly & I are half way through our advanced therapy class. On week #2, we practiced on our dog coming to a machine with my voice on it, and received our homework: a short trick routine(about a minute long) I'll let you know how that goes.

Just an update...

This week for 4-h, we should be starting agility. I got an e-mail saying we will be meeting ay Gayle's house.(Gayle is our main instructor) One problem - I don't know where her house is! I really hope we can contact someone before to night. I'd like to start Hope in agility. It would be good socialization, because no one would be forcing her to come in contact with something that would scare her. Plus she would be the best for it. Molly is too old, and despite she's as healthy as a dog half her age, I prefer would NOT to stress out her joints. Kirby is not very active and although he likes to play, he's tired after ten or fifteen minutes. Hope is five years old and in great physical shape. When we first got hope, she used to love running and jumping around and we always said we would get her into agility.(she still likes to run and jump, but she's just not so hyper)

Advanced therapy class

Yesterday, Molly started a 4-week advanced therapy class. It is mostly a handler skill class teaching the handlers important skills. We talked about the dangers of visits, and how our number one concern is our dog, among other things. We also did 2 practice visits. It's shaping up to be a really great class.
