Sparkle and Agility

A couple years back, my family went to Connecticut where my aunt lives. She and her dogs do sports like agility and hunting trials. Well, I watched her and her dog do agility and I was very impressed. Later, when we went home I tried it out with my dog, Sparkle, and she seemed to really get that hang of it fast, so I kept with it. I use simple house hold items to make the obstacles, like chairs, tee-ball stand, hoola hoop, and garden poles. After a long time of teaching and rewarding I have gotten her to do weave poles, jumps, tunnel and hoop.
It has been a lot of fun and I continue to teach and practice with her, but I seem to be learning a lot also.

Greetings, Nyte! Is she a friend of yours?

Nyte said...

Yeah, she is, why haven't you been on in a while?

Probably because of Spring Break (my aunt and grandma were over) and this project for school I've been working on...
