Agility fun run

Let me just tell you, that running three dogs in agility is a lot of work. It is a lot of fun too. I took all the boys to agility today. By all the boys I mean Brady, Bradley and Gambler. Bradley is getting in some practice for the upcoming UKC trial. Gambler may get to go to the UKC trial too but we still have some work on the teeter to do. Brady has never been to an agility class. He went to the fun run and had a great time. The only time he has done agility is in the back yard with me. He has never learned the weave poles or the teeter. He will be learning starting tomorrow. I have decided that Brady is going to go to his first agility class at the age of 6. I took him a couple of days ago and taught him most of the contact obstacles and much to my amazement he has take right to them. I am sure that no one setting in the room during the fun run had any idea that he had never been to a class. Hell he even did some things that he had never seen before. Bradley and I are going to have to do some work on the pause box before July 15th. He will go into the box but he doesn't want to lay down in it. John and I are going to build a pause box for him so that it will be around for him to work with. I sure had a good time today. I am really excited to take Brady to class tomorrow. I think he will love it. I am sure that Bradley will not be happy about it though because it means he has to spend an hour in his crate when no one is home. Yes I know he will be fine. Well I will keep you posted on how all the agility goes.
