Intermediate Agility Class #12

I missed last week going to class. It has been a little hectic with a new puppy here. But I was glad to take Goofy to class today.

We started the day warming up on some equipment. She took the teeter great, she did the weave poles perfect, and took other items as if she was born to do this. But come around exercise time she again balked at the teeter and acted like she was never introduced to the wave poles...haha Silly girl.

We did some serpentine exercises today and you could see the confusion in Goofy's face about what I was asking her to do. We took the tire, went over 3 jump sequence serpentine, came out the tunnel, retook all 3 jumps, and ended with the tire. We did them 2 different ways. At the end of the class we did some practice on them again and it looked like she was starting to get the hang of it.

She did surprise me today. The tunnel entrance was near the end of the A-frame and snaked under it. She did her A-frame as told and understood my hand signal to take the tunnel. Normally at that angle she looks confused but she took the tunnel and figured it out. I was so proud of her for that.

Well, tomorrow is another class. To bad I work in the morning though because poor Kitty has to miss Puppy class... but I will get her homework when I take Goofy to her Agility class. Funny how I have so many class days for my girls. I feel so busy now. Can't wait for Kitty to learn agility too.
