Agility

We took Ruby to obedience classes from 12 weeks which was brilliant for socialising and teaching her basic good behaviour.  Ruby was a really lively puppy and after a year it started to be a little repetititve - I wanted to find something that would enable me to build on the basic training that we had learnt but woud be a more active form of training. In September 2011 Ruby and I joined Paws at Play to begin a foundation agility class. Ruby loved it - and so did I!

We followed the same pattern with Pepper, beginning obedience classes at 10 weeks and joining a foundation agility class in February 2011 when she was 6 months old.  

While training obedience, I was able to enter both girls to be tested for their Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Awared and was very proud that they both passed!

It has been interesting doing agility with both of them.  They have such different characters, it is interesting for me to have to learn how to get the best out of each of them

When I started training I had never expected to start competing in agility - it had begun as a hobby that would incorporate training, activity and building a bond between me and and the dogs, but in 2013 we have ventured out into the scary world of agility competitions.
