Well today marked my first evening of Agility training. Mum was pretty nervous of going as she wasn't sure the excitement of all the pups doing Agility would wind me up more but she was amazed at how well behaved i was.

When we first arrived, i did get out of the car and got into a bit of a scuffle with Jazz the Lab who was walking by. However, Alan our trainer and Jazz's owner both said it wasn't a full blown attack and was just noise. They told mum that it wasn't that bad and alot of dogs act similar.

I had so much fun and when we were all lining up waiting for our turn on the equipment mum managed to keep me focused on my treats. When we got round to doing the jumps Alan said to work all dogs off lead! Mum's heart nearly lept out of her chest BOL but she remained calm and Alan just told mum to be firm with me. So i had to sit and wait at the starting line and then off i went...over the first jump, over the second and up the Dog walk. The whole time i stayed by mum's legs and watched her for treats :) Mum was over the moon, i could have ran for the other dogs but i didn't. Then we went on to the Tunnel and Chute....Alan had to hold me for these and he said i was a live wire BOL. I'm very shy of the tunnel and chute and it takes me ages to go through. I need alot more practise with those. The See Saw too, i don't like it when it bangs down at the end and i try to jump off so mum has to hold me by the Harness and get me to wait before the See Saw drops. The A frame i'm fine with, and the weaves i'm not to bad on. I'm much better with those off lead then on.

At the end Alan set a little course up for us and we had to run OFF LEAD around it. 2 jumps, tyre jump, See Saw, Tunnel, another tyre jump, weaves and the pause table. I did so well and everytime i did get a little hyper mum just made me sit and wait to gain control. Mum is sooooo proud, you don't know how much this means to mum :)

Lets hope i have fun next week too!
