Agility class

Rocky finally graduated from Beginner Agility class! Yay! These past eight weeks have been a lot of fun. He learned to jump multiple jumps in a row, jumping through a tire, running through a tunnel, walking on the dog-walk, going through the chute, walking up the teeter-totter (sp?) & going through the weave poles. Wow! All that in just beginner agility. (Our instructor said that most schools don't teach a dog how to do the weave poles until the third 8 week session.)
Rocky did as good as can be expected for a beginner. He really had his moments though. The seventh week he decided to be a clown & after jumping a jump he would throw himself on the ground and roll around. He is a goof.
You will notice in the pictures that he is wearing a white "drag" line. I had to put this on him because during the last two classes he decided he wasn't going to do the obstacle course in the correct order. He just wanted to go through the chute where he remembered getting a treat the week before...LOL!! Anytime he would start to head off in another direction I would step on the drag line to stop him. It was really hard to put on a serious face & make the dog understand that I meant business while running & laughing really hard at the same time!!




Waiting for a treat.
